Take a trip to Amboseli National Park on your Kenya vacation.
Located in an ecosystem that spans across the Kenya-Tanzania border, Amboseli National Park is found in the Loitoktok District of the Rift Valley Province in Kenya. The open easy-to-see environment found in the park on a Kenya vacation has made it famous for some of the best views of Mount Kilimanjaro as well as up-close encounters with free-ranging elephants.
Originally set aside as a “Southern Reserve” for the Maasai in 1906, local control was returned in 1948 and Amboseli became a game reserve. By 1974 it was listed as a national park in order to protect its unique ecosystem. This ecosystem was recognized by UNESCO when the park was named as a Man and Biosphere reserve in 1991.
The local Maasai tribes that surround the park have lived in the area for more than 400 years. Maintaining a traditional pastoral way of life, the Maasai also invite visitors to their villages to take part in a truly African experience.
