Amboseli National Park

Details of Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is a visually stunning park located just three hours drive from Nairobi. Whether a bird lover, predator fan, or grazers’ admirer, Amboseli National park at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro won’t let you short of awe! Known as the Royal Court of Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park offers unparalleled views of Mount Kilimanjaro - Africa's tallest mountain.

Amboseli is considered Kenya‘s biosphere reserve. The name Amboseli in Maa (Maasai language) means place of water, and it reveals its true nature. In its swamps live huge herds of elephants, as well as lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Much other wildlife will reveal themselves - observe hippos, zebras, giraffes, waterbucks, warthogs, buffaloes, wildebeest, and gazelles. And more than 47 raptors of 350 bird species, among them flamingoes, cormorants, storks, and ostriches.

Amboseli is also home to Maasai communities. Being an open country means a good walking territory, and many camps and lodges organize game viewing walks or trips to visit and spend time in the local Maasai villages.
