3 Days Ol-Tukai Lodge Kenya flying safaris
Day 01:
NAIROBI - AMBOSELI
After an early morning breakfast, your safari begins
with a flight heading south from the capital city
(Nairobi) to Amboseli National Park. At an altitude of
about 1200m – 1400m and Beautifully situated beneath the
foot of Africa’s highest mountain Mt. Kilimanjaro
(5895m), the park is well renowned for its huge herds of
elephants and various types of other Savannah wildlife
such as Giraffes, Bushbuck’s, Kudu, Warthog’s, Zebra’s
and over 425 species of birds recorded here. The
snowcapped peak of Kilimanjaro rising above white clouds
dominates every aspect of Amboseli and forms a backdrop
to an impressive display of wildlife attracted to this
location by swamps and springs fed by underground rivers
from Kilimanjaro’s melting snow. With an airstrip at
Empusel Gate, the park is also home to the Masai people,
those tall, brave, and proud nomads who live in close
harmony with the environment and the wildlife that
surrounds them. Amboseli was the location around which
such famous writers like Sir Ernest Hemingway and Robert
Ruark tailored their stories of big game hunting in the
wilds of Africa
Pick up at airstrip and enjoy a game (Wildlife) drive
en-route to your lodge, as we arrive in time for your
lunch at the OL-TUKAI LODGE, situated deep in the heart
of the world famous Amboseli National Park. The lodge is
camouflaged in a forest of fever trees, yellow barked
acacia trees, palms and well designed cottage style
accommodations, which spread out on either side of the
main lodge. Each room offers a breathtaking view of the
