Amboseli
National Park
National Park
View melting Mt. Kilimanjaro snow and close free range giant elephants. Characterized by open plains, acacia woodland, swamps and thorny bushland, the park borders Tanzania at the base of Africa most iconic mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro covering 392 sq.km. The endless water springs flowing from Mt. Kilimanjaro to the heart of the park attracts giant elephants carrying massive tusks ranging to herds of 100. Lions here enjoy relaxing on trees after a successful hunt. For birdwatchers, Amboseli is the place to be from its rich waterfowl’s spoonbills, ducks and geese to scavengers and migratory birds with amazingly over 400 species recorded. Hundreds of Zebras, warthogs, giraffes, gazelles, antelopes and buffalos make the cheetahs, lions, leopards, hyenas and jackals thrive in the eco-system.
Observation Hill offers scenic beauty of the whole park being the best spot to capture those memorable sunsets along the melting Mt. Kilimanjaro snow and enormous tusks carrying elephants and swamp hippos. Tribal Maasai culture is another fascinating experience. A visit to the village to learn why the Maa people are shunning away from modesty, living a nomadic and polygamous life and joining their traditional dances is a life-changing cultural experience.
