Amboseli National Park
Amboseli is best known for one unforgettable combination: large, relaxed elephant herds photographed against the towering, snow-capped backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro just across the border in Tanzania.
The park sits in the shadow of a former lake bed, whose seasonal swamps stay green even in the dry season, drawing wildlife from a wide surrounding area and making sightings dependable.
Wildlife & Highlights
Some of Amboseli's elephants are part of one of the longest-running elephant research studies in the world, meaning many individuals are well known to local guides by name and family lineage.
Best Time To Visit
June–October and January–February for the clearest skies and best chances of an unobstructed Kilimanjaro view.
