A full day dedicated to exploring Amboseli. Morning drive to the Olmotiag and Enkongo Narok swamps where hundreds of elephants gather to drink and bathe — males, females, calves and matriarchs in dramatic mud baths. Look out for lions resting in acacia shade, cheetahs on the open plain and buffalo herds near the water. Afternoon drive focuses on the varied bird life and the spectacular Kilimanjaro light show as clouds gather around the peak.
