The 8 Best Things to do in Amboseli Eco-system, Rift Valley Province

June 17, 2021 Etsuko Causey

Hugging the Tanzanian border in south Kenya, Amboseli National Park is just northwest (and offering spectacular views) of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak and the world's tallest free-standing mountain. So rich in flora and fauna that it has been named a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, Amboseli's open savannah grassland habitat teems with wildlife, including elephants, lions, wildebeest, cheetah, zebras, giraffes, impalas, baboons and hippos, not to mention over 400 different species of birds.

Selenkay Conservancy

Masai-owned conservancy and safari camp near the Amboseli National Park.Selenkay Conservancy shares the same eco-system as Amboseli National Park and is established on land leased from the local Maasai by Gamewatchers Safaris & Porini Camps with the aim of protecting the wildlife habitat and encouraging wildlife conservation as an alternative to farming as a means for the local population to earn a living. Migrating species from Amboseli previously killed or driven off land set aside for farming are now able to make the conservancy their home. Recent years have witnessed a significant increase in wildlife numbers with elephants returning to Selenkay after a 20 year absence.

The original conservancy. Having recently rained it was beautifully green and fresh. This did make for difficult animal tracking though, in fact we didn’t see any cats within the conservancy at all. The main purpose of the visit though was obviously elephants and Mount Kilimanjaro and it definitely delivered on those. Plenty of big tusk elephants there and they have no real issue with you being close to them which is great to experience and photograph

Amboseli National Park

Reviewed By Bidule005 - France, null

In October 2020, I stayed 3 days in Amboseli national park with Abupet safari ventures. The landscape of the park is beautiful and varied; it is mainly savannah and swamps where animals come to drink, with Kilimandjaro mountain in the background. Indeed, you can take wonderful pictures of animals (elephants, giraffes…) at sunrise and sunset with Kilimandjaro mountain in the background The fauna in Amboseli national park is rich. In the park, during day game drives, we have seen: - big herds of majestic grey elephants with babies. These families of elephants spend a lot of time, bathing and playing in the swamps and waterholes : unforgettable and fantastic!!! - lions with cubs - two male brother cheetahs - black-backed jackals - other mammals, e.g.: zebras, giraffes, herds of beautiful blue wildebeests, buffalos, impalas, waterbucks, hartebeests, Thomson and Grant gazelles, warthogs… - a lot of beautiful birds. When you go in Amboseli, do not miss to climb at the top of of Observation hill, where you can have your bush breakfast and where the view is amazing on Amboselli national park and on Kilimanjaro mountain. Altogether, I HIGHLY recommend to visit Amboseli national park

Observation Hill

Reviewed By mirandaj0220

Its a simple little hike up to the top of the observation hill. Its defiently worth it, we got to see the park at an amazing vantage point! We came here for lunch and got to see hippos during the day out of the water eating and basking in the sun! The bathrooms here were very nice and kept up as well.
