Kenya

A country smaller than the state of Texas, the Kenyan landscape combines the Great Rift Valley littered with alkaline lakes, 500 kilometers of coral reef fringed by the most beautiful talcum-soft white sandy beaches, tropical rainforests, snow-covered Mount Kenya on the equator line, lush agricultural fields, savanna grasslands, and the world's second largest freshwater lake.

Kenya is one of the only a handfuls of countries in Africa that have the greatest wildlife diversity in the world including all the Big Five games like lions, leopards, rhinos, elephants, and cape buffaloes. In addition, Kenya is home to the United Nations Environmental Program's world headquarters, the center for humanitarian relief operations, and guardian to three world heritage sites including Central Island (Lake Turkana), Sibiloi National Park / Koobi Fora (Lake Turkana), and Mount Kenya.

Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park is located in Loitoktok District, Rift Valley Province of Kenya. The ecosystem mainly savannah grassland that spreads across the Kenya - Tanzania border. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to free-ranging elephants among other wildlife species. Other attractions of the park include the opportunities to meet the Maasai and spectacular views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Amboseli National Park is home to wild animals which include the African elephant, buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, hyena, giraffes, zebra, and wildebeest among other African animals.

There is also a host of Kenyan birds both large and small to see if you keep your eyes open and stop at every sighting. Amboseli National Park is accessible whether you use your own vehicle, take public transportation, or book an open-topped minibus or safari van tour with a tour guide. The road from Nairobi to Namanga (240 kilometers / 149 miles) is tarmac but becomes rough with potholes.
