Amboseli
Kenya
safariAmboseli is where the iconic postcard image of Africa comes to life. Vast herds of elephants traverse the dry lakebed with the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro towering behind them. The park is home to some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya, and the photographic opportunities here are unmatched anywhere on the continent.
