Amboseli is renowned for its elephants, many of which can be seen against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro as they move across the open plains.

 Mount Kilimanjaro Views

On clear days, Africa’s highest mountain provides an extraordinary backdrop to your safari. Early mornings are often among the best times for mountain views, although visibility depends on weather conditions.

 Excellent Wildlife Opportunities

The park and surrounding ecosystem support elephants, lions, cheetahs, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras, wildebeest, hippos and numerous bird species.

 Easy Access from Nairobi

Amboseli is a practical choice for travelers who want a safari without taking a domestic flight or spending several days on the road.

 A Photographer’s Favorite

The combination of elephants, open plains, dust, dramatic skies and Kilimanjaro creates some of Kenya’s most recognizable safari scenes.

Mount Kilimanjaro & Amboseli

One of the defining features of an Amboseli safari is the relationship between wildlife and Mount Kilimanjaro.

When the weather is clear, the mountain rises dramatically above the surrounding plains, creating an iconic East African safari scene.

The best opportunities for clear mountain views are often early in the morning, but clouds can form around the mountain at any time.

For photographers, the combination of elephants + open savannah + Mount Kilimanjaro is one of the major attractions of visiting Amboseli.

We offer both private and small-group options.

Private Safari

A private safari gives you your own vehicle and guide, allowing greater flexibility over departure times, photography stops, game-drive duration and the pace of your trip.

It is particularly suitable for couples, families and photographers.

Small Group Safari

A small-group safari is a more affordable option for travelers who are comfortable sharing the vehicle and safari experience with other guests.
