Amboseli
When you think Kenya safari, perhaps its
Amboseli you are thinking. Indeed one of the popular images of an
African safari in most wildlife documenteries is that of a herd of
elephants strolling across the plains with the snow-capped peak of a
mountain in the background.
The mountain is mount Kilimanjaro Africa's highest mountain and the
world's tallest freestanding mountain. Its is actually across
the border in Tanzania but Amboseli has a perfect view of this rising
an impressive 5 kilometres above the plains. The best time to view the
majestic mountain is at dawn and sunset, when the clouds lift and the
light is both clear and soft.
The park is about 200km from Nairobi on fairly good roads, and the
usual route is via Namanga on the A104. The last 75km from Namanga is a
bit bumpy so be prepared. Air Kenya also offers daily flights to the
reserve.
Amboseli combines well with Tsavo National Park to the east, or a
mombasa beach holiday to unwind after a wildlife safari.
The park is actually considered one of the smaller game parks in Kenya,
but it offers you the best opportunity of seeing the critically
endangered black rhino, along with a spectacular range of wildlife.The
area considered to be relatively flat, with its well-munched vegetation
also ensures that animals are easy to spot. Lions can easily be found
and can occasionally be watched stalking their prey. Buffalo, cheetah,
gazelle, hyena, jackal, wildebeest, zebra, and baboon are just some of
the animals that can be encountered at Amboseli.
Home to over a thousand elephants, herds of wildebeest and over 300
species of birds, Amboseli is an exciting and diverse game viewing
destination.
The park gets it water from streams thought to be water from mount
kilimanjaro creating swamps that attract and support a rich diversity
of wild animals and birdlife.Most of Amboseli is flat and dusty and so
the best spots for game viewing are these wetlands.
