It was great to see elephants and hippos in the water. There were a lot of water birds.

We were able to see alot of animals despite the season.
It would be better to travel in August or September.
As for the birds, it was wonderful to see so many sorts and birds
You need to much time atvthe end

Beautiful place, though sparse in animals when compared to the Masai Mara. Great for elephants. Alas, turning partially into desert.

Amboseli is well-known for its abundance of Elephants. We got to see lots of them, roaming around the swamp, which was a beautiful sight. The recent draughts were clearly visible due to the amount of uneaten carcasses across the park; makes one think about its ecological footprint during such a trip.

Amboseli is rich in its beautiful nature, elephants, birds and buffalo. A truly beautiful park that, if you're lucky, provides great picture opportunities with Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.

Climate change is hitting this area, riding through a graveyard due to drought.
Kilimanjaro in the background is nice though.

I'm not sure what Bush Vibe is, but there were significant parts of the park without trees or bushes. Visiting just before the rainy season was probably the reason. As a smaller park, it was not surprising to see numerous animals no matter where we were in the park. And while I'm not a bird watching person, there were numerous types and my guide seemed to know every single one, which was impressive.

This park was amazing. Cheetahs, elephants, life, and death. So much in one place. Absolutely beautiful.

The area is in a severe drought, it was sad to see the amount of dead and dying animals.

Very diverse, enormous quantity and variety of animals. Badly impacted by droughts though.
