Amboseli National Park is known as Kilimanjaro’s Royal Court, and Kilimanjaro is known as the “Roof of Africa”. The ecosystem here is mainly savannah grassland that spreads across the Kenya-Tanzania border. The park is famous for being the best place in Africa to get close to free-ranging elephants among other wildlife species. From Amboseli the views of Kilimanjaro are nothing short of spectacular. Tsavo East is home to most of the larger mammals, the famous Tsavo Red Elephant (there are some of the largest elephant herds in Kenya in Tsavo East), Rhino, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard, Hippo, Crocodile, Waterbuck. There are also 500 recorded bird species that call the plains of the savannah home.
