Amboseli Safaris

Elephants Beneath Kilimanjaro

Amboseli Safaris

Discover Amboseli National Park, where great elephant herds cross open plains beneath the snow-capped silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro. A Kenya safari here brings rewarding game drives, superb photography and the chance to spot lions, giraffes, buffalo and prolific birdlife in an unforgettable setting.

Amboseli National Park sits at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, and is famous for hosting some of the continent's largest and best-studied free-ranging elephant herds. Open plains and swamp-fed grasslands make for exceptional sightings and some of the most photographed wildlife scenery in Kenya.

C.A.T.S Safaris has guided travellers through Amboseli for 15 years, running private game drives from Nairobi and combining the park with Masai Mara or Tsavo on longer circuits. Guests short on time can also reach Amboseli quickly on a Kenya flight safari.

Beyond elephants, Amboseli supports lion, giraffe, buffalo, spotted hyena and over 400 recorded bird species. Many guests continue their trip toward the coast; see our safaris from Diani Beach for routes that link Amboseli with the Indian Ocean.

Frequently Asked Questions

Amboseli is rewarding year-round, with the dry seasons from June to October and January to February often making wildlife easier to spot around the swamps. Clear early mornings in these periods also provide the best chance of seeing Mount Kilimanjaro, while the green seasons bring dramatic skies, newborn animals and fewer visitors. C.A.T.S Safaris plans around your priorities because Kilimanjaro's visibility depends on weather and cannot be guaranteed every day.
