Amboseli
Elephants beneath Africa's tallest free-standing mountain.
Overview
About Amboseli
Amboseli's swamps and open plains make it one of the best places in Kenya to watch elephants up close, with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background on clear mornings.
The park is compact, so even a short stay gives you rewarding game drives, birdlife around the wetlands and good photography at sunrise.
Best time to go
