One of Kenya’s most well-liked tourist destinations is Amboseli National Reserve, which is crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain. The Maasai word “Amboseli” means “salty dust,” which is a fitting description of the dry conditions in the park.
One of the best spots in Africa to see big herds of elephants up close is the reserve. Big cats like lions and cheetahs, as well as giraffes, impalas, elands, waterbucks, gazelles, and more than 600 different species of birds, are other animals that are frequently seen in the park. Here, nature enthusiasts can explore five distinct habitats, including the dried-up Lake Amboseli bed, wetlands with sulfur springs, savannah, and forests. Look for the Maasai locals that reside in the park’s vicinity.
