Amboseli National Park


Amboseli National Park, one of Kenya's oldest park, is located near the Kenya and Tanzania border, "in the shadow" of Africa's highest mountain, the snow capped
Kilimanjaro.

The park is known for its wildlife, especially it's prolific elephant population. Amboseli also hosts the big cats, herbivores and numerous bird species including flamingo and a variety of plains game.

The park is also famous for its dramatic scenery and open plains plus its stunning view of the
vast mountain. Two springs provide year-round water - befitting the Maasai meaning of Amboseli, 'Place of Water'
