Located at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Amboseli National Park is world-renowned for its diverse habitats—ranging from dried-out lake beds to sulfur springs and wetlands. It is perhaps the best place in the world to get up close to free-ranging elephants, providing an unrivaled opportunity for photography and wildlife enthusiasts.


The Package: Value Meets Adventure

Pomper Adventures has designed this trip to be accessible yet comprehensive. The pricing is structured to cater to both local explorers and international visitors:

  • Residents: KES 4,999
  • Non-Residents: USD 46

To make the trip even more reachable, the organizers offer a “Lipa Pole Pole” (pay-in-installments) plan. You can secure your seat with a booking fee of KES 1,500, allowing you to plan your finances smoothly before the February departure.

What’s Included?

The tour is curated to take the stress out of planning. Your ticket covers:

  • Seamless Logistics: Round-trip transport from Nairobi in a rugged 4WD Tour Van, built for the park’s dusty trails.
  • Expert Guidance: A professional tour guide and driver who knows the secret spots for the best wildlife sightings.
  • The Experience: Comprehensive game drives throughout the park.
  • Hydration: Bottled mineral water is provided for the entire duration of the safari.

Plan Ahead: What to Bring

While the package covers the essentials, travelers should note that Park Entry Fees and Lunch/Snacks are excluded. This allows you the flexibility to choose your own meal preferences. Be sure to carry your identification (ID or Passport) for park entry and some extra cash or mobile money for your meals and KWS fees.
