The basics

Why, when, and where.

Why

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.

When

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.

Where

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.
