The Amboseli National Park is considered second most popular Kenya African wildlife safari destination in Kenya after Maasai Mara. It is a 392 km2 wildlife safari which offers panoramas of the peak and the park’s plains and swamps. The name “Amboseli” comes from a Maasai word meaning “salty dust”. The park offers a stunning views of sunsets and sunrises of  towering Mount Kilimanjaro and an array of wildlife, including large herds of elephants, buffalo, wildebeest, Zebra,hippos, gazelles and a variety of wildlife habitats, such as swamps, African plains and hilly terrains. 

Amboseli offers some of the best opportunities to see African animals because its vegetation is sparse due to the long dry months. The wildlife in Amboseli National Park includes huge herds of wildebeests and many other animals including giraffes, African lions, monkeys, zebras, hyenas, and antelope. The visitors can explore five different habitats in Amboseli ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli, woodlands, wetlands with sulfur springs and the savannah. Contemporary Maasai culture and authentic indigenous lifestyle can also be experienced in Amboseli by visiting the local Maasai community who live around the park. The Maasai, a fierce warring community recognized by their history and distinct culture have existed in harmony with the animals in the park. Their amazing fighting skills have earned them respect; thus stories about morans (warriors) single handedly killing fierce lions have spread far wide. Indeed, novelists like Robert Ruak and Ernest Hemingway made the subject of their stories, escapades of big game hunting in the Amboseli National Park.
