Amboseli National Reserve

Kenya's Amboseli National Park is one of the more popular wildlife parks in Kenya -- only Masai Mara National Reserve and Lake Nakuru National Park receive more visitors each year.

The 1,260-square-mile reserve is famous for its big game, including lions, cheetahs, baboons and large elephant herds that traverse the savannahs in search of watering holes or feeding grounds. On a game drive here you can also see the magnificent snowcapped peak of Tanzania's majestic Mount Kilimanjaro. Soaring to 19,340 feet, it is the highest mountain in Africa. Habitats in the reserve vary from swamps to withered lakes to semi-arid, vegetated areas.
