Amboseli sits below Kilimanjaro on the Tanzanian border, with swamps fed by mountain meltwater that hold elephants through the dry season. The park is known for large, well-studied elephant families and for open views of the mountain when the cloud lifts, usually early and late. It is small enough to cover in two days.
