Overview

Safari Details

This is a short yet well-planned safari that introduces you to Amboseli National Park which is one of Kenya’s most popular parks. The park lies immediately Northwest of Mt Kilimanjaro on the border of Kenya and Tanzania. Waters from melted snow drain down the mountain under lava flows and surface in Amboseli, creating a green belt of swampy land amidst dusty plains. Here elephant hippos and bird life can be seen against the backdrop of the magnificent snow-capped mountain.
But it would be foolish to think elephants are the only wildlife attraction in the park. On your game drives on Amboseli’s great horizons, you can spot wildebeest, zebra, buffalo, gazelle, and of course, cheetahs and lions.
And not to be overlooked – smaller mammals like hyenas, foxes, jackals, velvet monkeys, and the yellow baboon abound.
The bird life is equally rich, especially in the park’s marshes and lakes. Be ready for sightings of pelicans, kingfishers, crakes, egrets, and the Madagascar heron. And raptors – 47 types have been spotted including falcon and the harrier eagle.
The sky and horizon are vast here encompassing Amboseli’s 5 wildlife environments which ensure great numbers and diversity: wetlands, savannah, woodlands, thorn-bush, and the dry lakebed of Lake Amboseli.
Even the word “Amboseli” comes from a Masai word meaning “salty dust”.
And you’ll find the Masai people in their villages spread around the park. You can visit with them and experience a truly authentic and ancient African culture.
