Best of Amboseli National Park Attractions & Luxury Tours, Kenya

Located on the border of Tanzania, Amboseli National Park is a favorite destination for Kenya safaris because of the variety of wildlife present and Mount Kilimanjaro looming in the distance. Mount Kilimanjaro is the tallest freestanding mountain in the world and provides a wonderful backdrop for watching the animals.

Amboseli provides incredible opportunities for viewing large numbers of African animals and birdlife because of its favorable terrain that consists of plains, swamps, acacia forests and rocky outcroppings covered in thorn bushes. The Big Five (rhino, leopard, lion, elephant and buffalo) can be seen here, as well as giraffes, zebras, antelope, hyenas, monkeys and huge wildebeest herds which are especially exciting to watch during their yearly migration.

The resident community of the Maasai people in the park also adds to the romantic atmosphere. Witness tall and colorfully clad Maasai herdsmen as they guide their herds amidst the wild African plains, or visit a village and experience traditional dances and watch as the tribe goes about daily chores in the same way as they have for hundreds of years
