Amboseli
The expedition begins in Nairobi, the only city in the world with a national park within its boundaries. Upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, you are met by a professional silver-level guide. After a briefing on the week’s ecology and safety protocols, the journey proceeds south toward Amboseli National Park. This drive offers the first glimpse of the Kenyan countryside, transitioning from urban sprawl to the open plains inhabited by the Maasai people.

This geological phenomenon is visible from space and provides a dramatic backdrop for the transition to freshwater ecosystems. Lake Naivasha, a Ramsar site, is essential for birdlife and supports a massive population of hippopotamus.
