Amboseli’s postcard shot is famous for a reason – big elephant herds crossing open plains with Kilimanjaro rising behind them on a clear morning. The park has one of Africa’s most-studied and habituated elephant populations, meaning close, calm sightings of large family groups. Swampy wetlands fed by underground rivers off the mountain keep the plains green even in the dry season, drawing game from a wide area.
