Amboseli National Park in Kenya is often aptly referred to as ‘The Land of Giants’. This breathtaking park boasts marvellous vistas of Mt Kilimanjaro and is an excellent place to witness large herds of elephants, and you might even spot one of the famous big tuskers still left in this region.

An Amboseli National Park safari is an excellent first point of call for visitors. It is a rather compact park with a wonderful diversity of wildlife, including giraffes, cheetahs, striped and spotted hyenas, buffalo, Thomson’s gazelle, gerenuk, lions, and many more. The park offers a selection of lodges and camps, providing the perfect base to explore the area on a classic game drive, photographic safari, on horseback, or from above in a hot air balloon safari.

There is also the opportunity to learn about the cultural history of the area by meeting the vibrant Maasai people, who have maintained their pastoralist traditions for generations.

Despite Mt Kilimanjaro’s location in neighbouring Tanzania, Amboseli boasts some of the best views of Africa’s tallest mountain. The rest of the park is a blend of seasonal lakes, savannah, woodland and wetlands.

If you’re looking to nurture your inner wildlife photographer or catch sight of Africa’s giants, Amboseli is a breathtaking destination that is an essential part of a classic Kenyan safari.

The Dry Season

June to October
Like many other parts of Kenya, Amboseli experiences 2 rainy seasons and 2 dry seasons. The long dry season is from June to October and this is the best time to spot wildlife as they gather around water sources and vegetation is less dense.

The Green Season

November to February
As November arrives, so does the short rainy season, which lasts until January. In February, there is a shorter dry season and this is a great time to witness birdlife and dramatic vistas of Mt Kilimanjaro, as all the dust is settled by the rains.

March to May
From March to May are the long rains and some areas of the park can be difficult to traverse during this time.
