Nestled in the southern region of Kenya near the Tanzanian border, Amboseli National Park is a celebrated wildlife conservation area renowned for its dramatic scenery and incredible biodiversity. Towering majestically in the background is Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest peak, which forms the park’s iconic backdrop—especially striking during sunrise and sunset.

Amboseli is home to four of Africa’s Big Five—lion, elephant, buffalo, and leopard—as well as a diverse population of wildlife, including zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, hyenas, and over 400 species of birds. The park’s permanent swamps and wetlands, fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro’s glaciers, attract wildlife year-round, offering consistent and remarkable game-viewing opportunities.
