The night game drive is strictly managed and monitored in ensuring minimal negative impact to the ecosystem.

Lake Amboseli is a non-permanent lake with very alkaline water that floods during heavy rainfall and is filled by underground streams from Mt. Kilimanjaro and the Chyulu Hills. While on your game drive, observe along the streams are large papyrus swamps that form the only permanent water source for the animals in the park. The swamps attract large numbers of animals such as elephants, flamingoes, hippos, buffaloes and many more, the area is surrounded by very tall Acacia trees.

This pyramid-shaped hill is one of the only places in the park where you can get out during your safari in Amboseli and walk/hike.

If lucky you might witness the wildlife foraging the park, but the views here put them in their context.
