Beautiful park with a lot of wildlife and incredible families of elephants with a lot of babies. Kilimanjaro view is real scenery and the variety of scenarios is nice and interesting. on the other side the park is extremely dusty, no off-road possible and a lot of tourists given the period of the year.

Not loads of birds, apart from at the view point where we stopped for lunch, they were in abundance - used to tourists giving them scraps!

With a backdrop of Mt. Kiliminjaro you just can't go wrong!

Amboseli is a bit more rustic and you won't see all that one does at the Maasai Mara but you cant beat getting that photo of elephants walking in front of Mt. Kilimanjaro.

Amboseli is the place to go if you want to see elephants. We saw so many elephants and up very close. It was unbelievable. There were many baby elephants too, which were really cute. It was fun watching them playing in the mud and washing themselves. The road to Amboseli is fantastic - new tarmac road the whole way and completely free of traffic.

Elephant Haven and Kilimajaro the best !

This is a wonderful park for elephants and for wetland birdlife. The sunset views of Kilimanjaro and the elephants in the foreground are quintessential Africa

Amboseli National Park offers a wide variety of scenic views and landscapes. Amboseli is close to Kilimanjaro and therefore especially offers nice views of the mountain, usually with animals in front. The roads are 'better' than in other parks, making it easier to drive on your own ('better' if you want to drive by your self, but worse if you want a genuine off-road experience, like in Buffalo Springs National Reserve).
When booking accommodation, make sure to do your research. We booked what a local travel agency said was a five star hotel (Serena) but it was far from! I would not recommend staying there unless three star with mainly an indian buffet is what you're seeking.
While at Amboseli, you should also go to the viewing point on top of a hill (ask at hotel where it is or if going on an arranged trip, the guide should know) for a 360 view of the park.
