Amboseli National Park
Amboseli National Park lies at the foot of Mt. Kilimanjaro and provides the classic photographs of wildlife set to the backdrop of this snow-capped mountain. This park has some of the highest densities and diversity of wildlife in Africa. Many travelers actually avoid this park because its main center is clogged with lodge-based tourists. Kimbla-Mantana offers a private campsite situated on the boundary of the park. Amboseli is best known for its abundant and approachable elephants. Other animals found in Amboseli include: giraffe, gerenuk, kudu, oryx, buffalo, cheetah, impala, lion, wildebeest, hyena, jackal, warthog, zebra and baboon.
Your private traditional luxury mobile camp is set up just for your group. Our private concession area sits in a triangle between Lake Amboseli and the Tanzania border. It is set amongst some green volcanic hills that help guarantee its privacy without blocking the views of the mountain, and it faces directly toward Kilimanjaro. The tents are pitched on volcanic sandy soil with a good covering of grass, and are scattered amongst a stand of old Tortilis trees to give welcome shade at midday. There is a resident herd of elephants which seem to have a semi-regular route through the campsite.

Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park is famous for its massive numbers of greater and lesser flamingo. Lake Nakuru is one of the alkaline Rift Valley lakes and is a fantastic bird sanctuary, its shores populated at times by more than one million flamingos. This park has 56 different species of mammals, including both black and white rhinos. Other wildlife found here includes lion, leopard, Rothschild’s giraffe, waterbuck, reedbuck, hippo and baboon. The lake is an important stopover for thousands of migratory wading birds that head to and from Europe each year.
Lake Nakuru Lodge is situated in the southeastern ecological niche of the park and is an oasis of comfort and excellent service. The lodge blends in well with its surroundings and animals often browse peacefully close to the lodge and its environs, much to the fascination of visitors.

All of the big five game is here: elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo and rhino. Other commonly sighted species include: cheetah, zebra, wildebeest, Thompson’s gazelle, Defassa waterbuck, eland, Masai giraffe and topi.
