It was very dusty, particularly in the evening when all cars have to leave the park. You cannot leave the roads which makes spotting more difficult compared to Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. The elephants, on the other hand, were very impressive.

My scoring is not excellent because in this park not all the big 5 are present and you get to see the animals from far most of the time (compared to other safaris I've been to).

In February, Amboseli was surprisingly dry except for the swamps and lakes.

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

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.

Great sightseeing of wildlife combined with Kilimanjaro. You really can feel the animals struggling to survive

Beautiful park at the foot of impressive Mt. Killimanjaro. The amount of elephants, hippos and monkeys in this park is great.

The nature was beautiful and green with grass and water. We spotted a lot of animals. The animals were not afraid of the jeep so we were able to come close and got beautiful pictures. We got a very nice view of Mount Kilimanjaro as well.
