The word 'Amboseli' is derived from the Masai language and it means 'salty dust'.
Amboseli National Park is considered Africa's best spot for viewing free-range elephants. The park is one of the most popular in Kenya due to its views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest Mountain, and the huge elephant herds that live in its' boundaries. Amboseli National Park is made up of several distinct habitats, which include savannah, woodlands, wetlands, and the mostly dried up Lake Amboseli.
The National Park has an Observation Hill - which is a pyramid shaped hill that provides an excellent view of the surroundings.
