Amboseli National Park, The Best place to view elephants

Amboseli National Park is located right at the foot of Mt Kilimanjaro. It stands out as the best place to view elephants and wildlife in Africa.

Amboseli National Park is located right at the foot of Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro (19, 340 feet). Feeding on the lush grasses, elephants abound in its forest and swamps. Cheetahs prowl the salt flats. Giraffes wander through the forest, while zebras and wildebeest feed on the open plains. The snow-capped dome of the Kibo Peak forms a magnificent backdrop, making this gem of a park a photographer’s paradise. Accommodations are available in a number of camps and lodges.

GAME PARKS AND RESERVES

Lake Manyara National Park

Bordered by the dramatic western escarpment of the Great Rift Valley, Lake Manyara National Park is renowned among ornithologists for its superb bird life, more than 350 species, including storks and flamingos. Also of great interest are its famous tree-climbing lions and its abundance of hippos that can be observed at closer range here than at most other places. The park also boasts elephants, giraffes, gazelles, impalas, Cape buffalos, wildebeests, baboons and forest monkeys,

hyenas, and a great number of smaller mammals. This wide variety of animals make their home in 127 square miles of diverse habitats: the rift wall, ground water forest, acacia woodland, open grassland, swamp, lake shore, and the lake itself.
