The park is filled with big-tusked elephants, and Mt Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain (5895m), looms over Amboseli. This combination makes for some fantastic photos, especially when the clouds clear over the summit as they do most days around sunrise and sunset. You also have a good chance of seeing lions, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, buffaloes, giraffes, wildebeests and plenty of gazelles. The park is also terrific for birding, with 420 species recorded.

Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge offers you a combination of excellent location close to the centre of Amboseli and fine facilities. There's a swimming pool where you can relax, live entertainment most nights, and you can also enjoy the bar and restaurant, especially out on the open-air terrace.
