The most distinguishing feature of Amboseli is its dramatic setting. Mt. Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest mountain, rises a majestic 19,340 feet (5,895 meters) just across the Tanzanian border, in full view of the park.

Most of the game can be found clinging to the swamps and grasslands in the center of the park, an oasis for buffalo, lions, cheetah, and over 420 species of birds. Amboseli is also one of the highly recommend parks in Kenya to see elephant, which travel in large herds near the Ekongo Narok Swamp.
