Amboseli National Park

Covering 392 Square kms, Amboseli lies immediately north-west of Mount Kilimanjaro, on the border with Tanzania. Large concentrations of wildlife occur here in the dry season,making Amboseli a popular tourist destination and the park is surrounded by six communally owned group ranches.

The image of elephants wandering across grass plains with the snowy peak of Mt Kilimanjaro in the background defines Amboseli. The park is beautifully situated at the foot of the towering Kilimanjaro and is home to the brightly painted Masai tribe. Amboseli’s dust is ancient volcanic ash whose salt crystals shimmer on the surface of the parched lakebed during the dry season. Amboseli is famous for its large concentrations of wildlife especially during the dry season. Here you can see lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, wild dogs as well as gnus, kaffir buffaloes, Burch ells, Zebras and herds of elephants. Surrounding Amboseli are ranch areas where the Maasai community share the land with wildlife.
