The Best Time to Visit Amboseli National Park is during the dry season, from June to October and January to February. During these months, wildlife is easier
to spot as animals gather around the park’s water sources, especially near the iconic Amboseli swamps. The clear skies offer the perfect backdrop for
stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for game drives, as animals are more active and temperatures are cooler.
This period also provides the best conditions for photography, with excellent visibility and dramatic landscapes.
