With plains traversed by wildebeest, lions, hyena and big-tusked elephants, a safari in Amboseli is truly spectacular. As well as plentiful wildlife, the scenic beauty makes it one of Kenya’s prettiest parks, with vast open savannahs and a skyline dominated by the mighty Kilimanjaro.

A short hop from Nairobi, Amboseli is a superb safari destination offering exceptional wildlife viewing in an enchanting location. The 40,000-hectare park is largely dry, but peppered with a handful of permanent swamps and lakes that attract animals from all over the park.

The wildlife of Amboseli is both diverse and abundant. Herds of wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and Masai giraffes can be seen traversing the plains, whilst big cats lounge in the shade or stalk their prey. You might even spot the rare gerenuk or oryx on your game drives. Bird watching is very rewarding, with a variety of beautiful water birds and unique varieties to check off your list.
