Amboseli National Park
Mejor época para visitar
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.
Consejos para el presupuesto
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.

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: Unos 1.200 elefantes deambulan por aquí, una de las mayores poblaciones continuas del mundo. El parque abarca 392 kilómetros cuadrados y linda directamente con el Kilimanjaro, de 5.895 metros de altura, lo que lo convierte en un escenario impresionante desde las llanuras secas.
Destacados: ¿Sabías que los enormes elefantes de aquí se dan auténticos masajes de barro? Se sumergen en las charcas ricas en minerales y luego se echan tierra roja sobre el lomo, algo que a veces se puede ver desde unos tres metros de distancia a lo largo de la ruta de Observation Hill.
Consejos de expertos
- 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.
