To see the elephants at sunrise, yes. Inside the park, you are on the tracks as soon as you leave the lodge, with no drive to a gate first.
From inside the park, early in the morning, before the clouds cover the summit. Ol Tukai Lodge and the Amboseli Serena have rooms facing the mountain.
By road, allow four hours from Nairobi via Emali and Iremito Gate. By plane, it is a 40-minute flight from Wilson Airport to the park airstrip.
Not always. At the Amboseli Serena, the Amboseli Sopa and Kibo Safari Camp, you book them at extra cost: check each lodge's page.
