Nestled at the foot of Africa’s highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is renowned for its large herds of elephants, including the last remaining big Tuskers in Africa.
Beyond elephants, Amboseli National Park boasts remarkable wildlife across its varied landscapes— spot lions, leopards, cheetahs and giraffes roaming the savannah, encounter hippos and flamingos in the wetlands, and discover over 400 species of birds throughout the park. It's a place of extreme scenic beauty, with wildlife to match.
Amboseli National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage site, and one of East Africa’s favourite safari destinations as you explore the landscapes with the glorious backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli's unique mix of swamps, savannas, acacia thicket and riverine forest, creates a diverse environment for wildlife viewing.

The Greater Amboseli ecosystem is generally regarded as one of the richest wildlife regions left in Africa. But the same animals that make it famous also put it in the crosshairs for illegal wildlife crime. Big Life Foundation (BLF) strives to prevent the poaching of all wildlife in the Amboseli ecosystem. Their community rangers are expertly trained, well-equipped, and ready for action at a moment's notice. Since their inception, poaching of all animals has dramatically declined in Amboseli and many wildlife populations are rebounding. Get in touch with Ololo Safaris to see how you can support the important work of Big Life Foundation.
