Der Amboseli-Nationalpark ist eines der bekanntesten Reiseziele Kenias und berühmt für seine großen Elefantenherden, die sich vor der Kulisse des Kilimandscharo erstrecken. Der 392 Quadratkilometer große Park konzentriert sich um ein ausgetrocknetes, uraltes Seebecken, das saisonal überflutet wird und dadurch eine große Anzahl von Wildtieren anzieht. In Amboseli leben einige der am besten erforschten Elefantenfamilien Afrikas, und die Kombination aus Elefanten und Kilimandscharo bei Sonnenaufgang ergibt die am häufigsten fotografierte Tierwelt-Szene des Kontinents.
