In Kenya, East Africa
Amboseli National Park in pictures.
Located in southern Kenya near the Tanzanian border, Amboseli National Park is legendary for its majestic herds of 'big tusker' elephants and its incomparable views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest peak in Africa. The mountain's snow-capped summit provides a breathtaking backdrop for wildlife photography, especially when the clouds clear at dawn or dusk. Despite its relatively small size, the park boasts a variety of habitats, including dried-out lake beds, wetlands with sulphur springs, savannahs, and woodlands. These ecosystems support a wealth of wildlife, from lions and cheetahs to over 400 species of birds. The Observation Hill offers a panoramic view of the entire park, where you can see the contrast between the dusty plains and the lush green swamps where elephants bathe and graze. Amboseli's unique landscape and concentrated wildlife make it a must-visit for any safari enthusiast.
