Amboseli national park : View of the Kilimanjaro

Amboseli National Park is the ultimate box seat when it comes to views of the famous mountain. It’s quite possible that one of the numerous herds of elephants will stomp through at the same time against this impressive backdrop. A moment for the ages.

Visiting the Maasai: Meet the well-known Maasai ethnic group, a warrior and pastoral people.

The best time to visit Kenya is during the dry seasons from mid-December to March and from June to October. June to October is the cool dry season, which is particularly favourable for game viewing in national parks such as the Masai Mara, Amboseli

During this time, the animals migrate to the few remaining waterholes in search of water, which increases the visibility and diversity of wildlife. The Great Migration also takes place during these months, with millions of wildebeest, zebra and antelope migrating between the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Masai Mara in Kenya, creating an impressive natural spectacle.
