Amboseli National Park, at the foot of Africa’s highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, is one of Kenya’s most popular national parks. It lies 150 miles south-east of Nairobi, very close to the Tanzania border. The snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro rising above the clouds dominates every aspect of Amboseli. The park is famed for and is home to the huge herds of the African Elephant. The Amboseli National Park also plays host to lions, buffaloes, the elusive leopard, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, a variety of antelopes and other smaller plains game. During the dry season it is semi-arid terrains and during the wet season, the seasonal “Amboseli Swamp” becomes home to many species of birds.
The Amboseli region was established as a wildlife reserve in 1906, mainly to safeguard the indigenous Maasai people and their grazing territories. As time progressed, the necessity of protecting its rich wildlife became more apparent, leading to Amboseli being officially designated as a national park in 1974. This enhanced designation was intended to conserve its distinctive ecosystem and encourage tourism as a method of preservation. In 1991, the park was recognized as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, acknowledging its vital contribution to biodiversity conservation and its harmonious relationship with the local Maasai communities.
Size of Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park covers an area of approximately 392 square kilometers (151 square miles). Although it is relatively small in comparison to other national parks in Kenya, it is famous for its varied landscapes, which feature expansive grasslands, acacia woodlands, marshy swamps, and the notable dry lakebed of Lake Amboseli.
