Day 6

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park

You can have an early morning wake-up call if you wish to view Mt Kilimanjaro and, if possible, see the wildlife that wanders in the park early in the morning before the scorching sunrise hits their back.

You will go on morning and afternoon game drives across the park's dusty roads. (The true meaning of Amboseli in Maasai is "dusty whirlwinds"). You're likely to spot wildebeest, giraffes, gazelles, impala, and zebra attracted to the marshes and swamps fed by the melting snows of Kilimanjaro. You may also spot lions on the fringes of the marshes as well as a great variety of birdlife (some 425 species of bird populate the park). With Kilimanjaro providing a dramatic backdrop, your photographs capturing elephants will be beautiful, which is another reason for Amboseli's popularity.
