Amboseli National Park might not be able to compare with the Maasai Mara National Reserve for sheer variety of wildlife, but for viewing large herds of very large elephants this park is second to none. And what better backdrop could there be than the mighty Kilimanjaro? It is true that Amboseli lacks the big-5 experience of other national parks in Kenya, but for wow factor that backdrop and the desert-like surrounding landscape is simply unbeatable. That is, of course, provided you visit on a clear day… – Daniel

Top Tips
This is a great place to see large herds of elephant, especially with a Kilimanjaro backdrop.
Be forewarned that you might be just a little disappointed if Kilimanjaro barely rears its head, especially if you’ve already been to a few other national parks or game reserves in East Africa.
For the best (or at least most consistent) views of Kilimanjaro, you’ll have to get early up for a sunrise game drive. Your best chance of seeing herds of elephants at the same time is probably to enter from the Kimana Gate.
