Amboseli,
Up Close
Dusty plains, spring-fed wetlands and unforgettable views of Africa's highest mountain.Amboseli is defined by contrast: arid savannah gives way to green marshes fed by Kilimanjaro's underground waters. Large elephant families move across the open terrain, creating some of East Africa's most recognisable scenes when the mountain emerges from the clouds.
We match the right camp, guide and pace to the season, then connect your stay smoothly with the rest of Kenya.
