Amboseli National Park, also regarded as the home of the
African Elephant, covers an area of 390.26km2. Crowned by Mount
Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, the Amboseli National Parks 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. Nature lovers can explore five
different habitats here ranging from the dried-up bed of Lake Amboseli,
wetlands with sulphur springs, the savannah and woodlands. They can also
visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their
authentic culture.
