Amboseli National Park, Kenya

Amboseli National Park Kenya

Amboseli is part of the elite of Kenya's national parks, and it's easy to see why. Its signature attraction is the sight of hundreds of big-tusked elephants set against the backdrop of Africa's best views of Mt Kilimanjaro (5895m). Africa's highest peak looms over the southern boundary of the park, and while cloud cover can make the mountain's massive bulk invisible for much of the day, you'll be rewarded with stunning vistas when the weather clears, usually at dawn and/or dusk. Apart from guaranteed elephant sightings, you'll also see wildebeest and zebras, and you've a fair chance of spotting lions, cheetahs and hyenas. The park is also home to over 370 bird species, and it has a great selection of lodges and a pleasantly mild, dry climate.
