Amboseli National Park – Best Views of Mount Kilimanjaro

The Amboseli National Park Safari in Kenya located in the southern part of Kenya towards the Tanzania border is also known to have stunning views of the highest peak in Africa the Mount Kilimanjaro. Its arid plains, acacia forests, swamps and expansive savannah provide a landscape that is photogenic thus appealing to wildlife lovers, photographers as well as tourists. The park has a perfect combination of scenic beauty and wild life. 

One of the Kenyan safari tours is unique as the scenic background, the Kilimanjaro, is snow capped and rises above the big herds of elephants in the Amboseli. The name of the park is derived out of a Maasai word that translates as salty dust as a result of its dry but alluring beauty. Elephant riding through the dusty plains and flamingo walking in the luminous swamps ensure that it is the heaven of nature and photographers. Sunrise and sunset are extremely beautiful scenes since golden colours draw memorable silhouettes. Go Kite Tours plans wildlife holiday tour packages which ensure the best viewing points, comfort, and experiences. 

Here are some of the Amboseli National Park—Best Views of Mount Kilimanjaro 

Most Good places to see in Amboseli national park. 

Observation hill (Noomotio hill).   

The most well-known view in Amboseli is observation hill or Noomotio hill. It rears over the plains providing a panorama of swamps, acacia woods as well as the vast Amboseli Basin with the distant view of Mount Kilimanjaro. This high position is best in sunrise and sunset shoots, wildlife and greatness of the mountain. A short trail allows visitors to ascend to the top where benches and viewing platform allow them to immerse themselves in the panoramic view. It is also a picnic station and the most wonderful place to view the elephants, hippos, buffalo and the birds at a distance. In the case of travelers who book via Go Kite Tours, the Observation Hill tends to emphasise their safari listings and offers serenity and postcard-perfect scenes. 

Ol Tukai Lodge   

Ol Tukai Lodge is among the best lodges in the Amboseli National Park and it is known to have clear cut views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The lodge is also strategically situated in the center of the park where the guests have an excellent opportunity of witnessing the Elephants grazing right outside their rooms with Kilimanjaro as the backdrop. It is also a convenient and comfortable place to relax and take photographs because it has open terraces and garden areas. The lodge has gained popularity among tourists who are conscious of comfort and closeness to nature. In the case of the tourists (Go Kite Tours) visiting, Ol Tukai Lodge is a mandatory visit in their best safari tours thus a guest is able to enjoy the magic of Amboseli in the comfort of their doorstep with stunning scenery. 

Amboseli Basin   

During the rainy seasons, the main Amboseli Basin becomes a shining pool of water, which is a home to the elephants, buffalo, antelope, and a host of other bird species. Although the mountain is sometimes covered with clouds covering the peak of Kilimanjaro, the mountain itself is reflected on the covered plains to give a surreal photographic experience. During the dry season, when the basin is a cracked salt pan, there is an equally spectacular gathering of wildlife round the few swamps and waterholes, which are left. A safari, which is arranged by Go Kite Tours, will give the visitors a chance to see these unusual ecosystems at their most colorful, as well as combining the sight of wildlife with the optimal view of Mount Kili manjaro. 

Optimal Hours to see Mount Kilimanjaro in Amboseli. 

Seasonal Recommendations   

The best time to see Mount Kilimanjaro clearly is during the time when one desires such clear views. The dry seasons that are the months of June, between to October and January to February are generally regarded to be the best seasons to visit Amboseli. These months are characterized by clear skies, good visibility and pleasant weather conditions to go on game drives and photography. It is also the most favourable months to watch wildlife since all the animals are concentrated around the water sources and hence easier to see and more fulfilling. 

On the other hand, rainy seasons, March to May and November to December, are characterized by a green vegetation cover and rich bird life but will tend to cover the mountain with clouds. The mountain is at times allowed to show the snow-capped summit in the early mornings even in these periods, over this magic window, a few seconds. Virginia and other travelers who would want to have the best mix between nature and wildlife must design their safari with professional planners such as GoKiteTours who will plan the safari according to the best season to view and take photos. 

Time of Day   

Mount Kilimanjaro is a coy giant and he frequently conceals himself behind clouds on hot days. It is best observed in the early mornings, a little after sunrise, and in the afternoons, a little before the sunset. The atmosphere at dawn is fresh and clear and the sun rays cast its warm golden light upon the sides of the mountain. The evening light in the late afternoon is more moderate and can be used to make silhouette shots of wild animals against the silhouette of the mountain. In the afternoon, the visibility is generally low due to fog and clouds. Best safari tours organized by Go Kite Tours usually guide their clients to start the game drives early and late in the day in order to increase their likelihood of being able to capture the full glory of the Kilimanjaro. 

The Top Reasons Why Amboseli is a Must-See Safari Lounge.  

 

Other than the charm of Kilimanjaro, Amboseli is known to be a sanctuary of flourishing elephants. The park boasts of one of the largest and most studied herds of elephants in Africa and some of them have been studied over decades by scientists. The sight of these magnificent animals crossing the plains, with the largest mountain in Africa as a backdrop, is a very touching experience, and is what the wild is all about. Another attraction is that besides elephants, Amboseli has lions, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests as well as more than 400 species of birds, which makes it a wonderful place to visit both the big-game and the birdwatching enthusiasts. 

The visitors can also get to appreciate the Maasai culture that surrounds the park. The Maasai communities around Amboseli people provide cultural tours where tourists can discover about the traditional values, dances, and crafts. Such activities that may be part of Go Kite Tours wildlife holiday packages provide tourists with a better understanding of how people and nature live together in this amazing area.
