Amboseli is teeming with life. Apart from the majestic elephants, you can encounter:

• Buffaloes, zebras, giraffes, and wildebeests

Best Time to Visit Amboseli National Park

The park is accessible all year round, but the best time to visit Amboseli National Park is during the dry seasons (June–October and January–February). These months offer clearer skies, better visibility of Kilimanjaro, and prime game viewing as animals gather around water sources.
