A long-time favourite of Hollywood filmmakers, the main attractions of Amboseli are the spectacular views of Kilimanjaro and the profusion of wildlife, including large herds of elephant, wildebeest, giraffe and zebra. Sometimes lion can also be found here. Bird watchers can expect to see pelican, bee-eaters, kingfisher, African fish eagle and pygmy falcon.
Best time to go: Game viewing can be good all year but
from April to mid-June Lake Amboseli can flood, limiting
access in some parts of the park. At these times bird
life is prolific.
