The park covers an area of 39, 209 hectares of land spreading across Kenya and Tanzania border. The local people living around the park are Maasai people, who are the pastoralists although the area is developing due to tourism.

Amboseli National Park is famous for free ranging big tusked elephants, meeting Maasai people and great opportunity to view the Mount Kilimanjaro snow-caped peak while on your comfort of lodge/camp veranda in the morning or evening. Within the Amboseli National Park there are some lakes and several swamps and marshes that are vital sources of water for all the animal species living in these lands. The fresh water of these swamps, as well as being the only permanent source of water for all the animals of the park, is the ideal habitat for hippos and many species of water birds such as herons, black-winged stilts, kingfishers, egrets and white pelicans and also big animals like elephants and buffaloes where they prefer to come and wallow in marshy areas and also for drinking water.
