Amboseli National Park is in southern Kenya. It’s known for its large elephant herds and views of immense Mount Kilimanjaro across the border in Tanzania. It is the Second most famous national park in Kenya after Maasai Mara,260km(160miles) from Nairobi City to the park. So Amboseli makes a perfect Adventure Safari Destination. Crowned by Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest peak, the Amboseli National Park is one of Kenya’s most popular parks. The name “Amboseli” comes from a Maasai word meaning “salty dust.” When I visited the park, I saw most of the animals and was happy with the tour guide. He was official and well knowledgeable about the animals. The park is enormous, but I was lucky to see Mt Kilimanjaro. Nevertheless, it was a good experience. One can also visit the local Maasai community who live around the park and experience their authentic culture.
