Amboseli National Park

The wildlife of Amboseli is diverse and numerous, with regular sightings of lions, elephants, leopards, zebra, buffalo, hippo, cheetah and more. And to complement this, there is an array of birdlife, with some 400 species being identified within the park. With beautiful coloured water birds and majestic eagles, both the lands and skies of Amboseli are home to some wonderful creatures.

Most of the camps work closely with the local Masai communities, and village visits can be arranged to learn more about their fascinating culture. You will have the opportunity to meet some of the local tribes, visiting their homesteads and interacting with the people.

The highest peak in Africa, and an iconic landmark which has intrigued and challenged travellers for many years, Mount Kilimanjaro stands guard over the East African plains, casting its shadow over the lands for many miles. Although usually best seen from across the border in Kenya (especially from Amboseli National Park), Mount Kilimanjaro slips into the boundaries of Tanzania, and all Kili climbs must begin from here. The snow-capped peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro have been written about in numerous tales and legends, and play a role in much of African folklore. Conquering the mountain takes some courage, determination and patience, and the reward of reaching Africa's highest point is hugely fulfilling.
