About Amboseli National Park


Amboseli is a small (392 sq km) but exceptionally popular reserve in the south of Kenya, close to Tanzanian border. The dry and dusty landscape is saved by the astoundingly beautiful backdrop of Kilimanjaro. One of Amboseli's biggest drawcards is that the game is relatively easy to spot. You have a good chance of ticking off black rhino, large herds of elephant, as well as buffalo, cheetah, gazelle, oryx wildebeest, hyena, jackal, Masai giraffe and zebra. It's the perfect setting for snapping those great wildlife photographs with awesome background to match.

However, the number of the tourists passing through this park can turn it into quite a dust bowl. The dry river bed of Lake Amboseli, in the west, is occasionally flooded in the wet season. Don't miss a visit to Kimana Wildlife Sanctuary, an important community project owned and run by the Maasai, situated between Amboseli and Tsavo.
