Of course Amboseli has Kilimanjaro and we were lucky enough to have views of it
Abundance of wildlife from flamingoes to elephants was great

The giant elephants here are famous and it is worth getting up early for a chance to see Mt Kilimanjaro before the clouds descend.
Bird lovers in particular, this is a must-see. The wetlands are unique and SO many rare species are here to see, including rare heron, sacred ibis and other wetland birds.

Unforgettable!
Overall rating
5/5

The visit at Amboseli was a part of a 5 day safari, including the two Tsavos and Amboseli.
As we drove into the park the Kilimanjaro put away his clouds and presented us his beauty. The next day, as we went away, the clouds came back :-)
Before entering the park we have seen the first animals - elephants and giraffes.
On the road to our lodge (the Ol Tukai Lodge) a lot of animals, zebras, gnus, hippos, elephants, buffalos and much more.
We had an afternoon safari at the first day and were able to see very many animals. A lot of elephants in the sump. Some giraffes. Lions unfortunately only far away.
But at the next day at the morning safari we had a lion family directly at the side of our car. Very impressiv.
We have been at Amboseli only a for some hours. But the big number of animals made this visit unforgettable.
A lot of beautiful pictures - with the Kili in the background.

We didn't make it to the observation hill overlooking the marsh but we did see many elephants, lions and had our only sighting of hyenas.

Untouched Wildlife with Kilimanjaro as background: who could ask for more?
Overall rating
5/5

To summarize in two words: must go. Definitely so. This place is a painting, and elephants abound all year round, since Serengeti migration does not affect wildlife population and habits in this region. Being there, with so many creatures of God, helps us put things in perspective and is a humbleness lesson.

Magical
Overall rating
5/5

Amboseli national park is truly magical place to be. There plenty of wild animals to see including elephants, hippos, buffalos, zebra, wildebeests, variety of birds. In addition to this, you have the bonus of viewing the highest mountain in Africa, that is the Kilimanjaro. So really, everything its in the same location.

One thing though, most animals will only come out of their hiding during evening hours and early morning before it gets too hot.
