Amboseli National Park Nightlife

There is a small waterhole behind the Amboseli Serena Lodge where animals come to have a drink of water. The area is covered by trees and bush but more often that not, you will be surprised by the sight of a Waterbuck or other animals that dare venture close to humans.

While the animals are free to roam, the guests are not. We were advised to keep a distance when the animals are around.

Dress Code: Casual

The Amboseli Serena organizes Maasai tribal dance performance at the lodge so for those who would like to watch it, you will be able to every night. It is inclusive in your package and there are no admission fees.

Watch the Maasai performers as they sing traditional songs and dance around the stage area, including the high leaps by the male dancers

Dress Code: Casual

When staying the game park, you're expected to return to your lodge by 7.00pm so there isn't much to do but either stay in the room or hang around the hotel. Thankfully the lodge organizes some activities for guest to spend the time after dinner.

One of them is the Maasai dance lesson in the evenings but be ready to do some serious jumping. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes because the Masaai dance is quite energetic

Sometimes, the most enjoyable time can be spent doing nothing. This is partiucarly true of Kenya's National parks.
In Amboseli, quietly sitting outside our cabin's patio we could listen to elephants trumpeting in the early morning or a lion calling out to his mates to mark his territory in the middle of the night.
If you've ever watched a television special and only seen/heard this on TV you will gain a new appreciation once you witness it for yourself.

Make the most of your trip, absorb the sounds, the smells and the surroundings which is Kenya. You never know if you'll have another opportunity to say "Hey, I just heard a lion roar"!

Hard to get all this "stuff" in order. After a long
drive to AMBOSELI, then the GAME DRIVES!
Trying to get together in the darkness! But,
you have to spend time on the drives. If that means less time for set-up! TOO BAD!

Would you believe these guys never did a campfire like this while on safari!! They were
using that charcoal thing. I suggested the
BIG-FIRE.Like the kind I had in ZIMBABWE!
They loved it. We kept doing it. To this day,
these guys still do fires like this. They talk
to other travelers about the fires we had!

Dress Code: WHAT-CODE??

Just relax and chill out in the AFRICAN BUSH!
These guys talk and talk! But, John very tired
from the heat and all the driving! Almost time to say bye to AMBOSELI!
