In addition to the game drive, you have the option to visit a Maasai Cultural Village for an additional fee.

Located 260 km (160 miles) from Nairobi, near the Tanzanian border, Amboseli is the second most popular animal park in Kenya after Maasai Mara. Its sparse vegetation, a result of the long dry months, provides excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing. The park is famous for its large herds of free-ranging African elephants and is home to a variety of animals, including buffalo, impala, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests. Additionally, birdwatchers can enjoy spotting a wide range of Kenyan birds, both large and small, if they keep their eyes open and stop at every sighting.
