Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, is one of the most popular of Kenya's national parks. Amboseli National Park provides the classic Hollywood image of Africa. Set in rolling savannah scenery, it is dwarfed by the presence of the pink-tinged, snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro which is 5,896 meters high. Against this magnificent backdrop roam vast herds of elephants which can be viewed up close accompanied by lion, buffalo, cheetah, giraffe, baboon, gazelle, hippo, and wildebeest. There are also over 400 species of birds, as well as all manner of reptiles, flora, and fauna.

The annual wildebeest migration, one of nature's few remaining wildlife spectacles, occurs in the Mara from July to September. This is when large animals and predators are present in abundance during the time frame of this trip. Several species of bee-eater, the flying rainbow that heads the list of Mara's birds, occur in the reserve. Along with wildlife, the Masai Mara is also home to many members of the colorful Maasai tribe who may be seen around the borders of the park. Dinner and overnight will be at the camp.
