Located about a four-to-five-hour drive (240 km) southeast of Nairobi, Amboseli is most famous for two particular things – majestic herds of big tusked elephant and glorious views of Mount Kilimanjaro in neighboring Tanzania.
Amboseli is the second most visited National Park of Kenya. The Maasai Mara stands number one. During heavy rains, the basin at the centre of the park floods, attracting hordes of wildlife. The park is an excellent place to view the Big Five, as well as lesser known and rarer wildlife species.
