Kilimanjaro
Amboseli National Park offers incredible views of Kilimanjaro, next to Tanzania. The famous mountain has 2 recognizable peaks, Kibo and Mawensi, which are always covered with snow. During the day you can hardly see the snowy peaks, because they are covered with clouds. The snowy peaks are best visible in the early morning, which is why Netherken organizes the excursions and hikes before sunrise.

Environment and animals
The meltwater of Kilimanjaro creates many grassy swamps and fields full of papyrus plants. The environment is therefore breathtaking, and provides a variety of wildlife. You may encounter the following animals in the Amboseli National Park: Lions, elephants, leopards, zebras, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, gazelles, ostriches and much more! The vegetation is very diverse and that all has to do with the availability of water and the salinity of the water. For example, reeds normally grow along the shores of Lake Amboseli, but the lake has now largely dried up.
