Amboseli National Park Safari Kenya

Experience one of Kenya's most iconic wildlife destinations, celebrated for large elephant herds, open grass plains, seasonal wetlands and unforgettable views towards Mount Kilimanjaro.

Park Overview

About Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya's best-known safari destinations for close encounters with large elephant herds. The park forms part of a broader ecosystem of open grass plains, acacia woodland, thorn bush, marshes and swamps, creating a varied habitat for mammals and birdlife.

The park's signature scenery is the combination of wildlife on the plains with Mount Kilimanjaro rising beyond the Kenya�CTanzania border. Clear views of the mountain depend on weather and cloud conditions, with early mornings often providing excellent photographic opportunities.

Amboseli works particularly well for travellers who want a classic Kenya elephant safari, wildlife photography and a destination that can be combined naturally with Tsavo, Nairobi, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru or the Masai Mara.
