Amboseli · Things to do

Amboseli protects some of the last elephants carrying tusks to the ground. Guides know the individuals by name.

Ten minutes up a stepped path for the park's only legal walk and by far its best overview.

Over 400 species. The marshes hold pelicans, crowned cranes and flamingos when water levels suit them.

Guided walking safaris in the community conservancy, which are not possible inside the national park itself.

The classic elephants-and-Kilimanjaro frame needs first light and a long lens. Ask for a window seat, not a roof hatch.
