Embark on a safari odyssey to Amboseli National Park, a jewel in Kenya’s wildlife conservation crown. Nestled against the backdrop of the towering Mount Kilimanjaro, this iconic park promises awe-inspiring landscapes, an abundance of wildlife, and an immersive safari experience.
The giants here are the great herds of elephants. Hundreds of them. Protected from poachers, they carry their massive tusks with pride as they gather at predictable watering holes, delighting the many who come to Amboseli National Park to view these noble creatures. Amboseli is known as the best place in Africa for getting up close to free-ranging elephants. The population is so robust here that sightings are guaranteed! It’s just one of many reasons the park is the second most popular in Kenya – only the Masai Mara draws more visitors. Amboseli is also a photographer’s paradise. Those wonderful photos you’ve seen of elephants seemingly posing in front of snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro? They were taken here. Kilimanjaro, the largest mountain in Africa and the highest free-standing mountain in the world, towers over the park like a stately and photogenic sentinel. And when the clouds burn off at dusk or dawn, you’ll be treated to visions of its snowy peak. But it would be foolish to think elephants are the only wildlife attraction in the park.
