Amboseli National Park

About Amboseli National Park
Located in Kajiado County, Kenya, near the Kenya-Tanzania border, Amboseli National Park covers approximately 392 square kilometers within a vast 8,000 square kilometer ecosystem. The park is world-famous for its large herds of African elephants, often called the “Land of Giants,” and offers stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, which majestically towers just across the border in Tanzania.

Why Visit Amboseli with Angulya Tours and Travel?

• Iconic Wildlife: Amboseli is renowned for its large elephant population—around 1,800 individuals—including some with impressively large tusks. Besides elephants, the park hosts lions, leopards, cheetahs, buffalo, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests, and a variety of antelope species such as gerenuks and impalas.
• Birdlife Paradise: With over 400 bird species recorded, including pelicans, kingfishers, hamerkops, and 47 species of raptors, Amboseli is a top destination for birdwatchers. Seasonal lakes and swamps attract flamingos and other water birds during the rainy seasons.
• Diverse Habitats: The park features a mix of savannah grasslands, acacia woodlands, rocky thorn bush, swamps, and marshlands. Its unique ecosystem is shaped by underground water springs from Mount Kilimanjaro, creating permanent swamps that sustain wildlife even in dry periods.
• Cultural Experience: The Maasai people, the traditional custodians of the land, live around the park, offering visitors authentic cultural interactions and insights into their pastoral lifestyle.
• Scenic Beauty: The panoramic views from Observation Hill and the backdrop of the snow-capped Kilimanjaro make Amboseli a photographer’s dream.
