Amboseli National Park: Towering Views and Iconic Wildlife

Located in southern Kenya, Amboseli is one of Africa’s most extraordinary safari destinations. Known as the “Land of Giants,” it’s famed for two things you won’t forget: its thriving elephant populations and its unbeatable views of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Spanning nearly 400 square kilometers, this park is rich in wildlife, scenery, making it a standout visit for any traveler wanting to experience Africa at its best.

Here’s what makes Amboseli stand out:
1. Elephants Like No Other: Amboseli is home to some of Africa’s largest tuskers. Here, you don’t just see elephants, you feel their presence.
2. Kilimanjaro as Your Backdrop: Nowhere else offers this iconic view of Africa’s tallest mountain towering over the plains.
3. Big Game and Rare Birds: Lions, cheetahs, giraffes, wildebeests, hyenas, and over 400 bird species thrive in the park’s varied ecosystems.
4. Incredible Diversity of Landscapes: From open savannahs to swamps and woodlands, every game drive reveals a new side of the wild.

At King Salama Safaris, we design custom journeys through Amboseli that offer more than just photos; we provide you with the space, insight, and local knowledge to connect deeply with the land and its wildlife.

So, what do guests love most about Soroi Mara Bush Camp?
Many are drawn to its unfenced setting, where they are fully immersed in nature, offering a deeper, more authentic connection to the wild. The camp’s luxurious, private tented accommodation is filled with thoughtful details that elevate comfort while staying true to the environment. Guests often mention the exceptional food and warm, attentive personal service that makes each visit feel personal and memorable. And with its prime location in the heart of the Maasai Mara, wildlife viewing is consistently of world-class quality.

This recognition follows a recent audit by Ecotourism Kenya’s Standards & Best Practices Program, reaffirming the camp’s exceptional efforts in conservation, community engagement, and eco-conscious hospitality.

The gerenuk is one of Africa’s more unusual antelope species, easily recognized by its long neck and upright posture while feeding. Its name means "giraffe necked" in Somali.

The gerenuk is one of Africa’s more unusual antelope species, easily recognized by its long neck and upright posture while feeding. Its name means "giraffe-necked" in Somali.
Adapted to dry landscapes, the gerenuk can survive its entire life without drinking water, as long as it gets enough moisture from leaves. It even stands on two legs to reach branches six to eight feet high.

This vulnerable species can be found across five African countries — a rare and rewarding sight for those who take the time to notice the less familiar faces of the wild.

Where else can you spot a black rhino with a city skyline just beyond the trees?

Nairobi National Park is one of Africa’s most unique wildlife destinations, located right in Kenya’s capital, where most safaris begin. It’s home to lions, giraffes, buffalo, and one of the highest concentrations of black and white rhinos in the country.

Because of its location, it’s the perfect way to start or end your safari journey. Close to the airport, it’s an easy add-on that gives you an unforgettable taste of the wild before you even leave the city.

Two cheetahs lay relaxing in the open, completely unbothered by our presence—until suddenly, their heads shot up, eyes locked on something in the distance. Moments later, we spotted the cause: two hyenas on the prowl, approaching with intent. In the wild, these opportunistic scavengers often shadow cheetahs, waiting for a chance to steal a meal without doing the hard work.

Safety in numbers is a real thing in the wild.

In Kenya’s Naboisho Conservancy, we spotted zebras, giraffes, impalas, and gazelles calmly grazing together. It’s a survival strategy.

By forming mixed-species groups, these animals increase their chances of spotting danger early. More eyes, more ears, better protection from predators like lions.

Want to experience the power of nature’s partnerships up close? Let’s plan your custom safari.

Elephants are the largest land animals on Earth and among the most emotionally intelligent. I have never been on a safari where guests are not in awe the moment they see one for the first time.

They live in close family groups led by a matriarch and form strong bonds. They care for the young, mourn their dead, and greet each other with clear joy after time apart.

It is not just what elephants are that makes them unforgettable. It is what they feel.

Lions are the most social of all big cats, living in prides that typically include related females, their cubs, and a coalition of resident males who have joined the pride from elsewhere. Each pride has a social structure, from bonding to cooperative hunting and cub rearing.
