Amboseli National Park
Beste Besuchszeit
The best time is June to September: the dry season provides clear views of the 5,895-meter-high Kilimanjaro and massive herds of elephants grazing around the water pools. Early morning (6:00-9:00) is also ideal, because wildlife viewing is at its best and the air is coolest.
Budgettipps
A day pass for non-residents costs about 60 dollars for adults and 35 dollars for children. Save by paying at the gate via M-Pesa or cash in shillings, and combine a visit with a walking safari in the adjacent Kimana Sanctuary, which is cheaper and hosts the same elephants.
Empfohlen für

Über
Schnelle Fakten: Etwa 1.200 Elefanten streifen hier umher, eine der größten zusammenhängenden Populationen der Welt. Der Park erstreckt sich über 392 Quadratkilometer und grenzt direkt an den 5.895 Meter hohen Kilimandscharo, der von den trockenen Ebenen aus eine atemberaubende Kulisse bildet.
Highlights: Wusstest du, dass die riesigen Elefanten hier richtige Schlammmassagen bekommen? Sie tauchen in die mineralreichen Wasserlöcher und werfen sich dann rote Erde über den Rücken, was man entlang der Observation-Hill-Route manchmal aus nur etwa drei Metern Entfernung beobachten kann.
Insidertipps
- Set your alarm for 6:00 and drive to Observation Hill first for sunrise photos with Kilimanjaro in the background.
- Wear layers in neutral colors, because the morning is cool but midday temperatures rise above 30 degrees.
- Cross the Enkongo Narok gate toward the swamp area, where the park's largest elephant herds forage among the papyrus.
- Bring cash for the mandatory rangers, because some gates have poor access to card machines or internet.
