  Lots of wildlife. We didn't get started until about 1145a. Come earlier for better chance to see big cats. But we saw lots of wildebeest, gazelle, water buffalo, elephants, hippos, birds, monkeys, even a lioness, and did about 80 km in the park (on well-marked though very uneven and dusty roads). Bring lots of beverages. Definitely climb the Observation Hill for a picnic with a 360° view of the area including the lake and Mt. Kilimanjaro.

  Famous for the Elephants and mt .kilimanjaro. There are no Rhinos. You lucky you can spot cheetah and Lioness. The place is hot though

  Wonderful park with lots of elephants. It’s very accessible and therefore gets crowded. Opt to stay inside the park so you can wake up at dawn to herds of elephants right out your door. Pretty much all the big game besides rhino exist. A key highlight of this park is the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. There are amazing photo oppurtunities of giraffe and elephants with the mountain behind it. Amboseli means dust and dust there is. Bring protective gear for your equipment to shield the dust. Photos may get difficult when traffic passes kicking up a storm of dust so be wary. Definitely worth a visit and it isn’t that far from Nairobi. But stay overnight at least one night if not two.

  Just had an amazing trip to Amboseli National Park! The scenery with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background is breathtaking. Saw so many elephants up close, plus lions, giraffes, and colorful birds everywhere. The guides were super knowledgeable and friendly. Perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. Can’t wait to go back! 🐘🌄

  Best national park in Kenya to see elephants. Also best view of Mount Kilimanjaro when the weather permits. Many families of elephants roaming around. No rhinos here. Relatively close to Nairobi. We were able to see lions, hippos, hyenas, and a serval.
