Amboseli National Park

Situated in southern Kenya along the border with Tanzania, Amboseli National Park spans 392 square kilometers of dusty savannahs, acacia woodlands, and lush underground-fed swamps. The dynamic landscapes of Amboseli National Park offer unmatched scenic contrast, featuring open plains framed by the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Protecting over 80 mammal species and more than 400 species of birds, Amboseli is globally celebrated for hosting massive, free-roaming herds of African elephants alongside lions, cheetahs, zebras, and Cape buffaloes.
