Tour Overview

Amboseli is set on the Kenyan plains with Mt Kilimanjaro as a backdrop in the distance, the park is world-famous for its substantial population of African Elephants which can be seen in herds of over 100 individuals. In particular the large bull elephants have some of the largest tusks in the animal kingdom.

Also to be spotted are ample herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and impala, as well as giraffes and warthog. With all this variety you can be sure a healthy population of predators also call Amboseli home. Lions, leopards, caracals, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and serval cats are all frequently seen in the park.

Highlights

  • Giant Elephants: Home to over 900 elephants, including rare “super tuskers” with massive tusks reaching near the ground.
  • Kilimanjaro Backdrop: Offers the finest, clearest vistas of snow-capped Kilimanjaro, best viewed at dawn or dusk.
  • Observation Hill: A conical volcanic hill providing a stunning 300-degree panoramic view of the swamps, plains, and herds below.
  • Permanent Swamps: Fed by melting mountain snow, springs at Enkongo Narok and Ol Tukai attract hippos, buffaloes, and hundreds of water bird
