Amboseli
 Amboseli
National Park is one of Kenya’s most popular parks because of the
stunning view it displays of nearby Mount Kilimanjaro, the world’s
tallest freestanding mountain. When you go on your Amboseli Safari,
be sure to get the famous photograph of elephants with the unforgettable
views of Kilimanjaro in the background!
Streams from Kilimanjaro surface in the centre of Amboseli, creating
swamps that attract and support a rich diversity of wild animals and
birdlife.
As Amboseli is easily accessible, it forms a popular part of many of our
safari itineraries. Amboseli is one of the smaller game parks in Kenya
and the vegetation ensures that the animals are easy to spot. Lions can
easily be found and can occasionally be watched stalking their prey.
Buffalo, zebra, giraffe, gazelle and other plains game are plentiful in
the park and hippos live in the open waters and swamp channels. The
elephants found here are surprisingly relaxed around safari vehicles;
they were largely unaffected by ivory poaching and have some of the
largest tusks.
