Amboseli National Park
The park is located on the Kenya Tanzania border. Kenyan Amboseli Park is most famous for its large herds of elephants. Therefore, it is estimated that there are approximately 1,000 elephants within the park’s fragile eco-system. The elephants here are said to be some of the largest elephants in Africa at all. Their tusks are huge.
The park’s flat terrain means that in this park you see the animals relatively easy and with good opportunities to get some great pictures. In addition, snow-capped Mt. Kilimanjaro towering up in the background makes it a photographer’s paradise. Possibly, having the opportunity to photograph large herd of elephants.
Large groups of buffaloes are also a characteristic of the place. The contrast to the wet swamp areas is Lake Amboseli, which is a dried-out salt lake that gives the park its dry and dusty look. As a result, the low vegetation by the lake makes it easy to spot the animals within the rift valley.
