Amboseli National Park
After the Masai Mara, Kenya has Amboseli National Park, which is known for its stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa, which looms over the park's southern edge. For much of the day, cloud cover can make the mountain's enormous size undetectable.

During the dry season, Amboseli might become a true dust bowl.
Despite the presence of buffaloes, lions, gazelles, cheetahs, wildebeests, hyenas, jackals, zebras, Masai giraffes, and baboons, the last few black rhinos were relocated to Tsavo West in 1995 due to persistent poaching. The epitome of Kenyan wildlife, vast elephant herds can be observed grazing in the permanent wetlands of Enkongo Narok and Olokenya with Mount Kilimanjaro in the distance.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1540914103711{padding-top: 48px !important;padding-bottom: 35px !important;}”][vc_column offset=”vc_col-lg-10″]

History
In 1906 Amboseli was set aside as the Southern Reserve for the Maasai, but it was again returned as a game reserve to local control in 1948. In 1974 it was gazetted as a Kenyan national park in order to protect it as the core of this unique ecosystem. Since 1991, it has been declared as a UNESCO site.
