Tsavo East and Tsavo West together span a vast area of wilderness that offers something for everyone. The area that they cover (and heading west into the Chyulu Hills) is a series of laval flows and chimneys flanked by the Yatta Plateau to the west.

Amboseli National Park Distance from Nairobi

Amboseli National Park is 240 kilometers from Nairobi, which is the capital of Kenya. It is at the border of Tanzania, in the northwest part of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The park can be accessed either by driving from Nairobi or flying into the one small airport in the park. Visitors can drive through the park themselves, following designated roads, or join a tour group.

Safari Animals in Amboseli National Park

Amboseli is most famously known for its elephants, which walk freely in large herds around the park and can be approached and seen more closely than in most other national parks or safaris. Aside from elephants, visitors can also come across buffaloes, crocodiles, impala, lions, cheetahs, hyenas, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeest, to name a few. Because of some of the large swamps and lakes within the park, visitors can also see many different birds, amphibians, and other wetland animals.

The landscape – which is relatively dry and sparse most of the year – makes it easier to see all of these animals from long distances than it may be in other regions or parks. When on safari to view animals, the park requires that visitors stay in their vehicles in most areas, which protects the wildlife and encourages natural growth of these animal communities. Kenya and the native people’s dedication to protecting the park has allowed animals to flourish within it.

Amboseli National Park Lodges , Hotels and Camps

There are a variety of accommodation options in Amboseli National Park. Adventurous visitors can choose to camp in a smaller campsite with only small tents. Others may stay in lodgings outside the park and drive in for the day. Some of the Popular  Amboseli National Park Lodge

Kenya’s Northern Frontier is the wildest area of the country. Huge expanses of arid desert and semi-desert are inhabited only by highly nomadic pastoralists such as the Pokot, Turkana, Samburu and Soyei.

Camels walk along rutted dusty tracks alongside hardy cattle and their herders. There are huge mountain ranges, the great expanse of Lake Turkana and mile upon mile of harsh unforgiving desert. See our Safari Tours of this region
