subject: Amboseli One Day Safaris: Amboseli Park Day Safari [print this page] The Amboseli national park day safari is an exciting game drive with a 3 hour drive from Nairobi to see some of the most scenic places including wildlife and a mountain. The masai people of the Amboseli complete your one day safari picture from Nairobi. Amboseli national park is one of the most popular one day destinations from Nairobi city and its worth its time to go there for a full day excursion safari.
Amboseli Park is located 240km from Nairobi city to the south west and near the Tanzanian border. The park is also located next to AfricaEUR(TM)s highest mountain-mt Kilimanjaro. This makes an Amboseli one day safari a fun trip where you get to see a variety of attractions in a single day tour. The park is only 160 sq km in size but has one of the highest elephant populations.
Elephants in Amboseli are more than 1500 and can be found concentrated around the lush green swamps grazing on the water grass and reeds. The elephants love the cool and fresh waters that come from underground rivers straight from the melting snow of the mountain. You will basically be seeing hundreds upon hundreds of elephants swimming and feeding in the swamps while half submerged in water.
Mount Kilimanjaro view brings a lot of people to Amboseli to marvel at this great sight. The mountain can be seen early in the morning complete with the snow covered peak protruding above the white clouds. The mountain peak seems like its floating in the sea of clouds and the white snow glitters in the morning sun to produce one of the most awe-inspiring views in an African safari adventure.
The lake Amboseli is a dry patch of seasonal lake which is full of water in the wet season and very dry in the hot seasons. The lake has an uncanny characteristic of producing mirages of blue waters in the heat of the day which makes many tourists want to get close to the water only to drive for miles on end on a hot white lake bed.
Amboseli is a very rewarding one day experience to see as most wildlife including lions, elephants, hippos, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, elands, buffalos, leopards, cheetahs, black backed jackals, impala and many other animals. There are also hundreds of birds that love to stay near the water including the blacksmith plovers, martial eagles, vultures, crested cranes, Egyptian geese, ibis, great white pelican, and the giant heron, go away birds among others.
If you want a shorter and equally rewarding one day safari experience from Nairobi, then you may want to go Lake Nakuru. Nakuru national park day safari is the worldEUR(TM)s largest bird spectacle with more than 2 million pink flamingos. The lake is also known as the best ornithological bird watching destination from Nairobi. You can also see the rhinos, leopards and tree climbing lions and the rare colobus monkeys and klipspringer antelope that live on rocky cliffs and an expert climber like the mountain goat.
