On your way to the park, you will be enjoying breathtaking views of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro snow-capped peaks rising above the clouds—just a perfect setting for your safari adventure.
Once you drive into Amboseli National Park, you begin viewing some of the world-renovated wildlife and landscapes. Having the highest percentage of free-ranging elephants, it is home to lots of other wild animals like lion, buffalo, leopard, giraffe, wildebeest, gazelle, topi, spotted hyena, zebra, cheetah, and many more. Extremely rare sights such as serval cats, caracal, and aardwolf roam freely in the park’s wilderness area; so does the African wild dog though rarely visiting here for this mammal.
During your safari drive, you’ll have the opportunity to visit Observation Hill, offering panoramic views of the park’s vast plains, swamps, and sprawling herds of elephants. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the beauty of Amboseli’s diverse ecosystems and watch wildlife in their natural habitat.
