Amboseli National Park lies in the north-west of Mount Kilimanjaro just on the border with Tanzania. It forms part of the much larger 3000 square kilometers of Amboseli ecosystem.

It is girded by six communally owned group ranches. During the dry season large concentrations of Wildlife occur within the Park boundaries making it one of the most popular protected areas for Wildlife encounters in Kenya.

Amboseli is composed of five main Wildlife habitats that include acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush, swamps, and marshland along with open plains.

This provides lush habitats to over 80 different mammals varying from the tiny spectacled elephant shrew to the huge numbers of African elephants. 400 species of birds adds to the attractions.

Tourists visit this place to enjoy the big game and scenic beauty with a backdrop of towering Mountain Kilimanjaro.

Other than Wildlife, tourists visit the Park for Mount Kilimanjaro hiking adventures. From the top of the mountain, you won’t stop admiring the scenic views of swamps, rolling hills and wild animals like elephants, buffaloes, zebras to name but a few.
