Amboseli National Park

Amboseli National Park, formerly known as the Maasai Amboseli Game Reserve, is located in Loitoktok District, Kajiado County, Kenya. The park gained international recognition as the home of Echo, the world’s most extensively studied elephant. Echo was the focus of numerous books and documentaries over nearly four decades, thanks to the efforts of American conservationist Cynthia Moss. Echo passed away in 2009 at approximately 60 years old. Amboseli National Park is a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, including African bush elephants, Cape buffalo, impalas, lions, cheetahs, spotted hyenas, Masai giraffes, Grant’s zebras, and blue wildebeests. The park also supports a rich variety of bird species, both large and small.
