   Today, you will enjoy a full day of wildlife viewing inside the park. Lunch break will be at your lodge. The 5,891m summit of Kilimanjaro —the world’s tallest freestanding mountain and Africa’s highest peak —actually stands within Tanzania. Still, the finest views of it are to be had from Amboseli. For much of the day, the volcanically-formed mountain is rendered invisible by a shroud of clouds, but this usually lifts at dusk and dawn to reveal the iconic snow-capped peak rising a total of 5km (3,1mi) above the dusty plains in all its breathtaking glory. You'll wind up your safari in the evening as you return to the lodge
