Amboseli national park Day Trips. 1 Day Amboseli day
Excursions are fun ways to enjoy the Amboseli national park game drive and view
of Mt Kilimanjaro. The Amboseli is the second most popular game park in Kenya
and attracts thousands of visitors in a year. The park is close enough to
Nairobi for a day trip and yet very rewarding for the rather long drive. Join in the next Amboseli 1 Day Trip and safe on cost, click here: Amboseli One Day Group Trip
Amboseli National Park
Information
This park is located next to the Kilimanjaro
some 260km south west of Nairobi city along the border of Kenya and Tanzania.
The Amboseli is a 390 sq km of protected land which is home to hundreds of
animals, lake and the colourful Masai people. The Amboseli national park has
represented the real picture of an authentic African safari with the signature
post card picture of elephants feeding in front of the Kilimanjaro.
Amboseli park is named after the Masai word
‘empusel’ which means a place of salty dust. The Amboseli is a very dry patch
of land with loose volcanic soil that forms tens of whirl winds swirling into
the sky as they move at high speed across the grassland and the usually dry
lake Amboseli.
The Amboseli is nevertheless, a refuge for
animals in the dry seasons as it gets a permanent feed of water from the melted
ice caps of Kilimanjaro. The park has permanent cool and fresh water ponds that
are fed from Kilimanjaro. This means you will find a lot of animals in the park
in the dry season as this is the last place where there is water for miles
around.
One Day Tours Amboseli
Park
Amboseli one day tours start from Nairobi at
6:00am and arrive in the park by 10:00am to start the game drive. The day tours
are arranged as joining tours that you can join as a single traveller or as a
private package for a family. You will arrive at the park and most likely will
have seen the mountain peak from miles away. The views of Kilimanjaro are best
seen from Amboseli.
You will be amazed at the number of elephants
and how close they can come to your game drive vehicle. They are just too
accustomed to the tour vans but they number more than 1200 of them. They can be
seen wallowing in the water or eating the water grass while immersed in the
water.
The other animals to see in the Amboseli
national park include the lions, hippos, elephants, wildebeests, giraffes,
leopards, cheetahs, hyenas, jackals, impalas, baboons, vervet monkeys, Thompson
gazelles, water bucks, elands, buffalos, zebras and snakes. The Amboseli day
trip is also a very popular as an important bird area and a magnet for Amboseli
bird watching day tours.
