Drive from Lake Naivasha to Amboseli National Park

Leaving the cool, papyrus-lined shores of Lake Naivasha, this 7-hour drive to Amboseli National Park crosses the Great Rift Valley before joining Nairobi’s busy highways, where the scenery shifts from open landscapes to lively city scenes. Once you reach Amboseli’s wide plains, it’s best to keep things relaxed with a sundowner or a gentle walk rather than a full game drive. If you prefer to break up the journey, a stop in Nairobi works well, with options like Nairobi National Park or a short look around the city before continuing.
