About Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is one of Africa's most iconic destinations — a park where enormous elephant herds roam against the snow-capped backdrop of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain. On clear mornings, the mountain rises in extraordinary detail above the savannah, its glaciers visible from the open plains. The park supports over 600 bird species and reliable populations of lion and leopard across its swamps, open grassland, and acacia woodland.
