Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya's most popular parks. The name "Amboseli" comes from a Maasai word meaning "salty dust", and it is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of elephants up close. Nature lovers can explore 5 different habitats here, ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, wetlands with sulphur springs, the savannah and woodlands. They can also visit the local Maasai community, who live around the park, and experience their authentic culture.

Masai Mara game drive

You have the full day to explore the park's amazingly high concentration of game. This game reserve is Kenya’s finest wildlife sanctuary. Including migrants, well over 450 bird species have been recorded here. The Mara plains are filled with migrating wildebeest and zebra, and there is also resident wildlife year-round.

The Mara’s gentle, fertile climate, bounded by the Rift, offers perhaps the most richly stocked reserve within some 1,672 sq. kilometers, an unlimited spectacle of wildlife. Located 268 kilometers west of Nairobi, the emphasis here is on game. Herds of immense elephants browse among lions, buffalo, Thompson’s gazelles, zebras and topis. You may occasionally spot a rhino or leopard. In the Mara River, hippos play, and crocs bask on the banks. The annual migration of a million wildebeest follows the rains north.
