AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK

Almost as popular as the Masai Mara, and also on the Tanzanian border, but further west, is the Amboseli National Park. From Amboseli, there are superlative views of snow topped Mount Kilimanjaro. The marshlands and rich grasses of the central area have large concentrations of game. Amboseli is a place of stark contrast. Meaning a "place of water" in Maasai,

Amboseli is a great place to visit in its own right.  It is not just the wildlife that attract visitors to Amboseli National Park but also the magical Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa at 5,985m (19,340 ft). Though Kilimanjaro seems so close from Amboseli flat open plains, its peak is almost 50 km (31 miles) as the crow flies, and across Tanzania border making it a major expedition for tourists from Kenya.

Amboseli National Park has very much to offer. It has a unique ecosystem, and a variety of game. There are five different wildlife habitats - The seasonal lakebed of Lake Amboseli, swamps and marshes with a few sulfur springs, open savannah plains, yellow barked acacia woodlands, and the lava rock thorn bush country. Amboseli is the best safari destination in Kenya to watch elephants. In addition, there is a large concentration of Maasai giraffes, buffalos, zebras, elands, Coke's hartebeests, waterbucks, gazelles and Impalas. Cheetahs and lions are sure bets. There are a few luxury lodges, and few tented camps in the center of the park. Amboseli Serena Lodge, Tortilis Camp and Ol Tukai Lodge are just the renowned accommodations.
