AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
about the park
It’s also known as “Home of the African Elephant” Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, the Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most popular parks. The name “Amboseli” comes from a maasai word meaning “Salty dust”, and it is one of the best places in Africa to view large herds of Elephants up close. Visitors can also visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their authentic culture.
The park’s name, “Amboseli,” derives from the Maasai word meaning “Salty dust,” a nod to the unique terrain characterized by dry lake beds and dusty plains. Despite the arid environment, Amboseli is a haven for wildlife, particularly elephants. It’s often referred to as the “Home of the African Elephant” due to the large herds that roam the park, offering visitors unparalleled opportunities to observe these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat.
