Hotels near Amboseli Airport - ASV, Amboseli

The variety of animals was great. The elephants were amazing--the highlight of the trip. Elephants is what you go to Amboseli to see, really! Due to the size of the park, the restriction against off-roading, and the poor conditions of some roads after the rains, visitors should go into the trip with the expectation to see big cats--finding them is really a matter of luck. But the other animals make up for this.

Amboseli is one of my favourite parks, it is diverse, it has fantastic wildlife and simply amazing birdlife, you can wonder off onto the plains to stay in amongst the marshes watching the most fantastic sightings, it really is very lovely. I was very pleasantly surprised, by other drivers on this trip, the were respectful of your line of sight, they never went off the road and were very polite, what a refreshing change. Then the staff on the gates were really very helpful, they were fun and guided us well, we came in at Meshanani and out at Kimana both were really good experiences. The loos at both gates were also very clean, a bit plus in my book

There is an overwhelming mountain, Mt.Kilimanjaro, in the Amboseli area. If you stay for a couple of days, you will see various views here, although it depends on the season and weather. Weather permitting, you can see out-of-this-world views.

This was my second visit to Amboseli, home of the Jumbos! It is THE place to see plenty of elephant activity in the morning and evening. Saw lions last time, but not this time - but did see other big cats - cheetahs having lunch. There are a couple of Maasai villages open to visitors (for a price) just outside the park.

Fantastic wildlife and some amazing wide open plains with beautiful views. Excellent birdlife and nice roads. Sadly, let down by the volume of cars and very rude, disrespectful guides who drive past you, showering you in dust even when it is clear you are leaning out of the car, taking pictures. Overcrowding of lion sightings with no control by park staff.

A great park filled with fantastic herds, animals and scenery but being ruined by too many trucks and vans. Animals are fantastic but the ruts, holes and roads need improving. Dust was everywhere. If to visit again, 1 or 2 days max.
