Amboseli Serena Lodge Game Viewing

Amboseli National Park is in the Kajiado District, Rift Valley Province in Kenya. The ecosystem spreads across the Kenya Tanzania border. In 1974 it was declared a UNESCO Man in order to protect this unique ecosystem. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to free- ranging elephants. Amboseli is also home to large concentrations of Masai giraffe, Cokes hartebeest, Thomsons and Grants gazelle, zebra, duiker and waterbuck. Lion, jackal and cheetah are also abundant. Less common are the fringe-eared oryx and bushbabies. Most mammals stay around the swamps during the day before heading to the hillier plains in the south of the park before nightfall. More than 420 species of bird have been recorded in the park. Flamingo, pelican and Egyptian geese flock to Amboseli during the green season when the plains turn emerald green. Observation Hill in the south of the park offers breathtaking 360 degree panoramic views over the park and surrounding mountains. To capture the elephants grazing in the swamps in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, you will need to wake early (before 7am). The elephants can be found in the Ol Tukai and Olokenya swamps.
