Amboseli National Park | Elephants & Kilimanjaro

Land of Giants

The Amboseli Story

Amboseli is famous worldwide for one image: enormous bull elephants with sweeping tusks framed against the snowy peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is the definitive African photograph — and in Amboseli, it is everyday reality.

The park's resident elephant families are among the most studied in the world, giving visitors unusually intimate encounters with these intelligent giants. Amboseli's diverse ecosystem also includes swamps fed by underground Kilimanjaro snowmelt, attracting hippos, over 600 bird species, and a full cast of savannah predators.
