Amboseli is arguably Kenya's second most loved national park. Dominated by a background of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli has a wide array of wildlife making it a popular tourist destination.
Amboseli lies immediately North West of Mt. Kilimanjaro, on the border with Tanzania. Amboseli was established as a reserve in 1968 and gazetted as a National Park in 1974. The Park covers 392 km2, and forms part of the much larger 3,000 Km2 Amboseli ecosystem. Large concentrations of wildlife occur here in the dry season. It is surrounded by 6 communally owned group ranches.
The National Park embodies 5 main wildlife habitats (open plains, acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush country, swamps and marshland) and covers part of a pleistocene lake basin, now dry. Within this basin is a temporary lake, Lake Amboseli, that floods during years of heavy rainfall. Amboseli is famous for its big game and its great scenic beauty - the landscape is dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro.
A 3 day safari taken by road or by air depending on your preferences and budget will give you some good time to explore the Amboseli National Park. Accommodation can be at 5 star lodges or luxury tented camp. All meals will be taken at your lodge or luxury tented camp. Safaris are private in exclusive safari vehicles at your disposal or flying package safaris that are all inclusive and use a shared safari vehicle (maximum 6 persons per vehicle) with guaranteed window seats for wildlife viewing and photography during game drives.
