3 days Amboseli National Park is a short safari. Welcome to the African wildlife theatre that capitalises on the diversity of wildlife in their natural habitat, in the shadow of Mount Kilimanjaro. Get close to free-ranging elephant herds.
Overview
Amboseli National Park is situated in southern Kenya. It is a premier park known for its large elephant herds and views of immense Mount Kilimanjaro against the backdrop of Tanzania. Observation Hill offers panoramas of the peak and the park’s plains and swamps. Lake Amboseli dominates the western section of the park, which is dry outside of the rainy season.
The park offers excellent viewing of large concentrations of African animals living in this natural habitat. Varying wildlife includes giraffes, zebras, cheetahs, and hundreds of bird species. The proud Masai people continue to live outside the park borders, following their ancient traditions and tending to their much-treasured cattle. A visit to their homestead gives one insight into this lovely community. A 2-night, 3-day Safari takes you to Amboseli National Park, where you will explore the park.
