On safari in Amboseli

Coyle and I headed out of Nairobi yesterday to head to Amboseli National Park about 240 km away. Amboseli is not as famous as Maasai Mara park but I chose it for a couple or reasons and it has not disappointed. Amboseli is smaller, easier to drive to from Nairobi (I was not taking one of those tiny planes to get here 😂) and because of its predicable water sources the animal behavior is predictable so you’re not driving for hours and not seeing anything. We have seen so many animals and Coyle is having a blast. Finally, I chose Amboseli because I love mountains and the park is at the base of Mt Kilimanjaro. I knew that in the dry winter months in Kenya (which is what they are in now) the mountain is often obscured by cloud cover but we have been lucky enough to see the snow covered peek on both days. Even with all these game drives we still have time for Coyle’s new favorite activity, relaxing around the pool and playing with our local neighborhood naughty monkeys. Mr Snuggles, the worlds most well travelled teddy bear also got in on the game viewing excitement.  Now I will proceed to overload you with pictures because you can’t have a safari without pictures!
