Travel Tips & What to Pack for Your Amboseli Safari 🧳🐘

Preparing properly for your 3-Day Amboseli Group Joining Safari ensures you get the most out of every game drive and stay comfortable throughout. The weather in Amboseli can vary, with warm afternoons and cooler mornings, so it’s best to bring light layers that you can easily add or remove. Comfortable walking shoes are a must, especially for moving around the lodge or camp areas, and a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen will help protect you during daytime drives.

For wildlife viewing, don’t forget your camera with extra memory cards and binoculars, as Amboseli is famous for its large elephant herds and iconic wildlife photography opportunities. A rain jacket can come in handy during the wet season, and it’s always smart to carry travel documents, some cash, and a refillable water bottle for convenience during drives and at the lodge.
