Amboseli is a national park and biosphere reserve in southern Kenya, famous for its large elephant herds, stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, and vibrant Maasai culture.
It offers diverse habitats, from savannah to swamps, providing excellent opportunities for wildlife viewing and photography. The park is accessible by road and is a top safari destination for its iconic scenery and abundant wildlife, including lions, leopards, zebras, and giraffes
Overview
Set in 200 acres of private land, and with a rustic charm all of its own, the lodge nestles in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro which, at almost six thousand metres, is Africa’s highest and most famous snowcapped mountain. It was this region of Kenya that, in the 1930’s, inspired Ernest Hemingway’s unforgettable stories ‘The Snows of Kilimanjaro’ and ‘The Short, Happy Life of Francis Macomber’ which were turned into more than successful feature films in the late 1940’s due to their renowned actors. All forms of wildlife still abound in this wilderness which continues all the way to the Amboseli National Park, an easy twenty minute drive away from the lodge.
