Amboseli National Park

Too many tourists

excellent for watching elephants !
Massai foot walk is a must !

I remember it for life, visit only during the rainy season

wild places there are very few, Wild animals should be observed early in the morning, watched a lot of cheetahs

A very scenic park at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro with wide open ares. Wildlife of all kind is easily spotted. Elefants, buffalos and lions can´t be missed. It porvides up to high standard accomodation but the number of visitors is quite high.

great park, I specially liked acacias, elephants and the view of Kilimanjaro

Spectacular views of Mt. Kilimanjaro and huge herds of elephants are worth a visit, but after a long dry period the ecosystem is out of balance!

Easy to travel around. Lots of wildlife.

The amazing feeling you get by standing in the midst of a herd of wild Elephants...

Amboseli is a pretty nice park for game-drives. It is not the park you want to visit if you have to see the "big five", because you won't find any rhinos or leopards here. But if you want to experience the incredible feeling you get when 20-30 huge african elephants silently passes by your car, this park is for you. If you are lucky you may get the oppurtunity to get a glympse of the largest free-standing mountain in the world, Kilimanjaro. The mountain is oft visible in the morning or evening hours. Though Amboseli is several miles away from the top, it still amazes hugely.

As for accomodation I can highly recommend Kibo Safari Camp. This is a luxury tented lodge, minutes from Kimana Gate. The staff, food, location etc. were excellent.

Per March 2015 the park were not overcrowded by cars, but only a few. This is much because of the reduction in tourism Kenya is experiencing. I personally prefer not to be part of a swarm of buzzing Toyotas when on game-drives, but rather have the oppurtunity to feel like in the only man-made creation in sight. This enables one to connect with the wildlife and nature in a special way. Nothing beats the sense of peace you get when the driver switches of the engine, and all you hear is Amboseli herself.

Wildlife is not so abundant as in Mara, but the scenery is bery beautiful.

Amboseli National Park - My favorite park in Kenya

Love the landscape views and Elephants during game drives as well as from the Lodge. (Ol Tukai Lodge).
