Information about
Family Adventure
In few places in the world does nature present itself as majestically as in Kenya. With Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop, the Great Rift Valley runs through the country from north to south, shaping wooded hills and a wonderful wooded savannah. Epic landscapes dotted with immense herds of zebras and wildebeests, wild predators, and endangered animals. The diversity of traditional tribes such as the Maasai, Swahili, or Turkana adds color and soul to the land.

There is no other place in Africa where you can find the curious combination of Amboseli's topography, geological history, hydrology, and culture. Despite its moderate rainfall, it has a system of marshes and groundwater fed by Mount Kilimanjaro, which sustains the life of a spectacular variety of birds and mammals. Amboseli is one of Kenya's most popular destinations and is home to the country's largest population of elephants, as well as buffalo, wildebeest, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, and hippos.
