Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park — Kenya’s Most Iconic Safari Destination

Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most beloved wildlife destinations, offering breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro — Africa’s highest peak — rising majestically above vast open plains teeming with wildlife. Located in southern Kenya near the Tanzania border, Amboseli covers approximately 392 square kilometres and is home to some of East Africa’s largest elephant herds, making it the ultimate destination for elephant lovers and wildlife photographers alike.
Amboseli is world-famous for its large-tusked elephants roaming freely against the dramatic backdrop of Kilimanjaro. The park is also rich in other wildlife including lions, cheetahs, zebras, wildebeest, giraffes, buffaloes, hyenas, and over 600 species of birds — making every game drive a unique and unforgettable experience.
What to Expect on an Amboseli Safari.
Game drives in Amboseli take you through diverse ecosystems — from open savannah grasslands and acacia woodlands to seasonal swamps fed by underground streams from Kilimanjaro. The Enkongo Narok and Longinye swamps attract enormous concentrations of wildlife, especially during the dry season, offering incredible sightings right from your safari vehicle.
Savanna Sojourns Safaris offers expertly guided Amboseli safari packages tailored for every traveller — from romantic couples seeking a private bush experience to families and photography enthusiasts. Our experienced guides know Amboseli inside out, ensuring you get the best sightings at the best times of day.
Best Time to Visit Amboseli
Amboseli can be visited year-round, but the dry seasons from January to March and June to October offer the best game viewing, with animals congregating around water sources. For the clearest views of Kilimanjaro, early morning visits during the dry season are ideal before clouds gather around the summit.
