Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is located in Loitoktok District, Rift Valley Province of Kenya. It has an endless underground water supply filtered through thousands of feet of volcanic rock from Kilimanjaro’s ice cap, which funnels into two clear water springs in the heart of the park. However, the climatic pendulum can swing from drought to flood, and in the early 1990s ceaseless rain changed Amboseli into a swamp. A few years later the rains failed and the grass-covered plains turned to dust.

Amboseli is 39,206 hectares (392 km2; 151 sq. mi) in size at the core of an 8,000 square kilometers (3,100 sq. mi) ecosystem that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border and is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to free-ranging elephants among other wildlife species. Other attractions of the park include opportunities to meet the Maasai people and also offer spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest free-standing mountain in the world. In Amboseli’s case, it is big skies and far horizons combined with swampy springs and dry and dusty earth trampled by hundreds of animals.

Best Time to Visit

January and February are good months to visit Amboseli, as well as June through September.

Avoid April and May, which are the rainy season. There may also be some rain from November to December, which may make the roads in Amboseli impassable.
