It's 6 hours drive from from Lake Nakuru to Amboseli National Park. The landscape changed from the green Nakuru to the dusty Amboseli. The last 45 kms was terrible. The road was so rough and dusty making the ride so uncomfortable with dust filing the cabin. I had to take a shower immediately on arrival at the lodge.
The magnificent Mount Kilimanjaro, the Africa's highest mountain standing at 5,895 meters above sea level. There was very little snow on the peak. We were told that the snow which used to cover the summit had melted gradually over the recent years due to global warming.
Our first sighting was this spotted hyena also known as the laughing hyena.
Returning to our accommodation at sunset.
Comfortable, spacious and well decorated.
The next morning, we were up early at dawn for our game drive.
These zebras were early too.
We passed a herd of elephants.
They were digging for roots.
2 spotted Hyenas returning to their den after a night outing.
We were lucky and spotted these two cheetahs.
It looked like this cheetah was going for the wildebeests.
We waited, but there was no action. Our guide told us that these two cheetahs were brothers and they were not hunting, but patrolling their territory.
The sighting of the Cheetahs had attracted a long line of safari vehicles.
Overall, the 10 days spent in Kenya was satisfactory. I hope to come back one day and catch the big migration. The safari tour was value for money and once in a life time experience.
While waiting for our driver to register with the warden, a group of desperate locals, tried to sell their crafts to us.
During our game drive, we saw some small tornadoes like these...a common sight in Amboseli National park.
A lone warthog.
This park has many elephants like this one grazing the grass in the swamp. 
This "Kori bustards", the largest bird that fly in the savannas.
The next morning, we were up early at dawn for our game drive.
Beautiful sunrise in the savannah grassland.
They were very cautious and walked slowly near the bushes.
I did not really like the game drive in Amboseli as it was dry and dusty. The only consolation we got, was seeing the Cheetahs.
During the 10 days Kenya Safari, we have seen most of the animals except the leopard. We were also unlucky for not being able to see any stand-off between the predators and the preys especially the lions and the cape buffaloes.
Overall, the 10 days spent in Kenya was satisfactory. I hope to come back one day and catch the big migration. The safari tour was value for money and once in a life time experience.
