Introduction

The savanna is Amboseli's vast, wild African plain—grassland at the foot of snow-capped mountains, alive with wildlife, a magnificent sight. The savanna is the backdrop of Amboseli National Park: open, parched-yet-lush plains at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Semi-arid, the grasslands are vast and sometimes reveal dried lakebeds in the dry season, yet Kilimanjaro's meltwater feeds green wetland oases, creating a striking blend of arid and lush. Scattered trees, vast plains, green oases and the sacred snowy peak beyond compose a majestic African wilderness. It teems with wildlife—famous elephant herds, wildebeest, zebra, antelope, lion, cheetah, hippo, buffalo and birds. A game drive across this plain, seeking wildlife amid the wild grandeur, is stunning. Please follow your guide and cherish the wilderness. Exploring Amboseli and its vast savanna is a magnificent sight.
