AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK

Amboseli National Park Safari – Elephants & Kilimanjaro Views

Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most iconic safari destinations, celebrated worldwide for its large elephant herds roaming freely against the breathtaking backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak. Situated in southern Kenya near the Tanzania border, Amboseli offers a safari experience defined by open plains, swamps, and spectacular scenery.

With Warm & Wild Safaris, Amboseli safaris are crafted to maximize wildlife encounters while allowing guests to enjoy the park’s tranquil atmosphere, dramatic landscapes, and unmatched photographic opportunities.

Why Visit Amboseli National Park

Amboseli is renowned for its:

• Close-up elephant encounters
• Panoramic views of Mount Kilimanjaro
• Excellent year-round wildlife viewing
• Open terrain ideal for photography

Unlike denser parks, Amboseli’s flat plains allow unobstructed sightings, making it one of the best safari destinations in Kenya for wildlife photography.

Wildlife & Natural Highlights

Amboseli is best known for its free-roaming elephant families, some of the largest in Africa. Other wildlife commonly seen includes:

• Lions, cheetahs, and spotted hyenas
• Buffalo, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest
• Hippos and abundant birdlife around the swamps

The park’s underground water system, fed by Kilimanjaro’s melting snow, sustains lush swamps that attract wildlife even during dry seasons.

Best Time to Visit Amboseli

Amboseli is a year-round safari destination, but conditions vary:

• June – October: Dry season, clear Kilimanjaro views, excellent game viewing
• January – February: Warm, dry, and ideal for photography
• March – May: Green season with dramatic skies and fewer visitors

Warm & Wild Safaris advises on the best timing based on your safari goals.
