Best Time To Visit

The best time to visit Amboseli National Park is during the dry season, from June to October. During this period, animals congregate around water sources, making it easier to spot wildlife, especially elephants. The weather is also warmer and more comfortable for outdoor activities like safaris and photography, with clear skies offering perfect views of Mount Kilimanjaro.

The wet season, from November to May, brings lush vegetation to the park, which can make wildlife spotting more challenging, but it is the best time for birdwatching as migratory birds are abundant.
