"Positioned in the south of Kenya on the boarder with Tanzania, Amboselli National Park has spectacular views of the snow-capped, craggy peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro – Africa’s tallest mountain. Renowned as being the best place in Africa to get close to the large population of elephants living in the park, here golden grasslands sit next to swampy, hippo filled springs, and in the skies above the wildlife it’s nothing but lilac, dusky horizons for as far as the eye can see. The elephants aren’t all you’ll see here though – Amboselli is also home to leopard, cheetah, giraffe, lions and more."

Best national park in Kenya to see elephants. Also best view of Mount Kilimanjaro when the weather permits. Many families of elephants roaming around. No rhinos here. Relatively close to Nairobi. We were able to see lions, hippos, hyenas, and a serval.

Just had an amazing trip to Amboseli National Park! The scenery with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background is breathtaking. Saw so many elephants up close, plus lions, giraffes, and colorful birds everywhere. The guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. Can’t wait to go back! 🐘🌄

Great location for observing elephants. Kilimanjaro offers a gorgeous backdrop and successful animal sightings. In addition to elephants we saw lions with cubs, cheetahs, giraffe, zebra and much more. We spent 2 1/2 days here going on 3 game drives. Beginning at 7:30 AM and finishing around 2:00 PM, we were able to observe most of the animals. The only elusive one was the leopard. Things to bring: a small backpack with phone, camera, charging device, binoculars, sunscreen, sunglasses and hat, and water bottle. (Safari vehicles do have ice chests and our driver provided bottled water.) What to wear: we were here the first week of November and the weather was perfect. I was most comfortable in shorts or capris, Teva type sandals, short sleeve shirt. I started the morning with a light long sleeve shirt that I could take off as the day warmed up. We did get out of the vehicle once to hike up a small observation hill. Here you will want your hat and sunglasses. There was a washroom here as well. We also stopped at one of the resorts to use the washroom as well as the airstrip. I brought a small roll of toilet paper just in case but all the restrooms had TP. Amboseli is a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of life.

This park is very dry/dusty and far away from the rest of the normal parks (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha). If you're lucky to see Kilimanjaro it is an amazing view. Plenty of elefants and other animals. Seeing the elefants move together is an amazing experience. Roads leading into the park are in very poor conditions.

Amboseli National Park, Kenya – where Wildlife, Nature, and Beauty come alive At the foot of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro lies Amboseli National Park, one of Africa’s most breathtaking Landscapes. Known for its iconic views of elephants wandering across the Savannah. From vast herds of elephants to graceful Giraffes, Pray - Predators and countless Bird species, every corner of this park reflects the raw beauty of the Wild. The golden Plains, Shimmering Swamps, and Acacia Woodlands make it not just a Ssafari destination, but a true Natural Wonder.

Wonderful park with lots of elephants. It’s very accessible and therefore gets crowded. Opt to stay inside the park so you can wake up at dawn to herds of elephants right out your door. Pretty much all the big game besides rhino exist. A key highlight of this park is the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. There are amazing photo oppurtunities of giraffe and elephants with the mountain behind it. Amboseli means dust and dust there is. Bring protective gear for your equipment to shield the dust. Photos may get difficult when traffic passes kicking up a storm of dust so be wary. Definitely worth a visit and it isn’t that far from Nairobi. But stay overnight at least one night if not two.

Beutiful resort right in the middle of some of the most beutiful nature preserves in Africa! Fantastic views of mount kilimanjaro if the weather allows it! 😂 We had the privilege of going safari with Peter and David from Moriah African tours. David drove and managed the safari traffic to get us the best vantage point for amaizing shots and Peter has to be on of the most educated and knowledgeable guide about every species of animals in Africa, birds are his speciality! Big shout ot to these guys, thank you so much!
