Find Amboseli National Park Advice & Facts About Amboseli Safaris
The Amboseli national park will afford you some awesome views of
elephant, giraffe, hippo and antelope with the majestic snow topped Kilimanjaro
mountain as a backdrop....
Wildlife
and Bird Viewing
Streams from the mountain feed swamp
areas in the park which support a rich variety of wildlife and birds such as
pelicans, bee-eaters, eagles and kingfishers.
It doesn't have the regularity and consistency for predator sightings that the
Mara provides but lion, leopard and cheetah are seen as well as old bull
elephants with some of the biggest ivory tusks in Africa.
Best Times To Go
Long, drenching
rains fall from April until June and then
the thunderstorm season gets under way in November and December.
Accommodation and Facts
There are a number
of really good safari lodges in this area such as Tortilis and Porini
camps, Ol Tukai and the Sopa and Serena lodges.
This is not a large park at only
392 square km but because it is so easily accesible it forms a very popular part
of the safari circuit in Kenya.
