Amboseli

Driving alongside a wild road in the latest safari vehicle with a veteran Massai guide who articulately describes all the flora and fauna of Kenya’s southern bush country, this is how you should imagine your African Mecca safari holiday in Amboseli to be like. Prairie plains stretch to the horizon disturbed only by the iconic shape of the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro.

Imagine a graceful giraffe as its long tongue wraps around leaves while the trumpet of elephants sounds in the near distance. The guide stops the jeep and points towards a cloud of dust indicating that a hunt has just begun.

The Amboseli wilderness is a regal landscape where such events unfold every day. Amboseli borders Tanzania and is located at the base of Africa’s tallest peak Mount Kilimanjaro, the melting snow adds to the underground springs which dot the plains. These springs attract animals of all kinds from elands and zebras to gazelles and hartebeests.

If you opt for a bird watching vacation in Amboseli you will get to view over four hundred and twenty five migratory and resident birds. These include cranes, sunbirds, secretary birds, and starlings to name a few. Amboseli also has numerous different accommodation options available to choose from, however; the best and the most luxurious ones are the Tortilis Camp, the classy Satao Elerai, and the modest Kibo Safari Camps.
