Overview

Topped by Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most visited parks. Amboseli, which means “salty dust” in Maasai, is one of the best sites in Africa to get up close and personal with big herds of elephants. Here, nature enthusiasts can explore five distinct habitats, including woods, marshes with savannah, and the dried-up bottom of Lake Amboseli. In order to experience the Maasai people’s genuine culture, you can also go visit their home in the park.
