About Amboseli
Amboseli sits at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa's highest peak — creating one of the most dramatic backdrops in the world. The park is home to some of the largest free-roaming elephant herds on the continent, and the sight of these giants moving across the dusty plains with Kilimanjaro soaring behind them is utterly unforgettable. Amboseli's open terrain makes for exceptional wildlife viewing: lions, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, and over 400 bird species all call this ecosystem home. Clear mornings offer the best Kilimanjaro views, often framed perfectly by a lone acacia tree.
