Start Planning
Amboseli National Park is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Kenya. It is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and more. The park also offers stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities, such as game drives, bird watching, and guided walks. The park is also home to a variety of cultural attractions.
The wildlife in Amboseli National Park congregate around very few watering holes during the dry season and disperse when the rains increase the availability of water throughout the park. The average temperatures in the park are moderate throughout the year. Little to no rainfall occurs during the dry season from July to October, this is the best time to consider travelling to Amboseli Park. Dry season is peak tourist season, as the wildebeest migration in Masai Mara brings visitors from around the world, many of those combine the trip with a stay in the Amboseli Park.
The name "Amboseli" comes from a Maasai word meaning "salty dust", and it is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close. Nature lovers can explore five different habitats here ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulphur springs, the savannah and woodlands. They can also visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their authentic culture.

Leigh-Ann Croeser from Safari.com was fantastic
Leigh-Ann from Safari.com was great to work with to plan our group safari trip. She was able to get me on the priority waitlist for a lodge that I liked, which ended up working out for our group during my preferred dates. Leigh-Ann was responsive and provided various tour recommendations for us to decide on the best option for us. There were a few email and name typos from Leigh-Ann that I had to correct, but other than that, I had a great experience.

Dolan was terrific
Dolan was terrific. He got back to us immediately to answer all of our questions. And was so nice to hold a room for a couple of days because of my moms passing. It gave us time to finalize her arrangements and time to book our trip. I would highly recommend using him to book your trip!!
