3 Amboseli National Park – On the Prowl
Depart for Amboseli National Park, home to prolific herds of elephants. Spanning 150 square miles of Kenyan savanna, woodlands, wetlands and ephemeral lakebed — with Mount Kilimanjaro’s distinctive profile as its centerpiece — this iconic park also harbors giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, lions and hundreds of bird species. After lunch at your lodge and perhaps a lesson in spear throwing with your Child Activity Coordinator, set out on a game drive in search of elephants, zebras and wildebeests.

Drive into Tanzania, stopping at Kafika House, which provides transformative healthcare to local children living with disabilities, a project supported by A&K Philanthropy. Then eat lunch in Arusha before flying to Manyara and continuing overland to your lodge, perched on the rim of the Ngorongoro Crater. This ancient, UNESCO-listed volcanic caldera encircles panoramic prairies with crater walls nearly 2,000 feet high. Inside them, a diverse profusion of wildlife roams freely through an authentic “Lost World,” where you can encounter every member of the Big Five in a single day.

Later, visit a Maasai village, where you meet with the village elder and learn how to make the tribal community’s unique beaded jewelry.
