Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park sits at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro and offers one of Africa's most iconic views — large elephant herds roaming open savannah with Africa's highest peak rising behind them. The park's shallow seasonal lake and swamps draw enormous concentrations of wildlife year-round, including some of the continent's largest elephant tuskers. With over 600 bird species and easy accessibility from Nairobi, Amboseli is ideal for first-time safari visitors and photographers seeking dramatic big-sky compositions.
