Amboseli National Park: The Complete Guide


It covers an area of approximately 150 square miles, including wide-open areas of savannah grassland, tangled acacia forests, and the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli. Above it all stands the park’s crowning glory, Mount Kilimanjaro, which is visible from across the Tanzanian border. 


The mountain’s snow-capped peak creates a spectacular backdrop for your safari photographs. Its meltwater also feeds the park’s unique swamp system, which provides a reliable, year-round source of water in an area otherwise characterized by its low rainfall. Animals and birds flock to Amboseli to drink from the swamps, making it Kenya’s second-most popular national park for wildlife viewing. In particular, the park is renowned as one of the best places in Africa to see wild elephants. Read the full travel article here.
