If elephant are on your wish list, then Amboseli should be too – it’s one of the best places in Kenya to spot these African giants close up. Lion, leopard, buffalo and cheetah also roam the park and the plains game is impressive with plentiful zebra, giraffe, and antelope species. The birding is excellent with around 400 species recorded here. Local Masai safari guides offer visitors a unique glimpse into their way of life as well as the animal characters in the park.
