Amboseli Full Day Game Drives

Amboseli National Park - An early morning game drive in Amboseli is recommended when Mt. Kilimanjaro often emerges from its cloud cover. The game drive proceeds to Lake Amboseli, a wide salt pan with permanent swamps. This area is rich in wildlife, including elephants, rhinos, buffalos, Burchell’s zebras, elands, Masai giraffes, and various antelope species, such as the common waterbuck, klipspringer, Grant’s gazelle, impala, and topi. It also features a dry Pleistocene lake basin that becomes Lake Amboseli after the rains. Waters from Mt. Kilimanjaro flow down the mountain under lava flows and surface in Amboseli, creating a green belt of swampland amidst dusty plains. While Amboseli may not have the abundance of animal species found in the Mara, the landscape offers limited cover, increasing the chances of spotting larger predators.

Observation Hill - This beautiful overlook of Amboseli Park allows you to watch elephants play in the marsh below. From the summit of Observation Hill, a pyramid-shaped volcanic hill, admire the view of the plains and swamps against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro. It is one of the best places to see elephants, attracting many tourists, both local and international. In addition to large mammals gathering here to drink, you can also see flocks of pink flamingos. Bring binoculars and a powerful lens for excellent pictures.
