Kenya Wildlife near swamps, Amboseli Nationalpark

If you are driving the roads left from park marker #44 you can get a really good chance to spot diverse wildlife like buffalo, zebra or wildebeest with Mt Kilimanjaro and the smaller mountains around in background. Always look in southern direction for these shots. Here is a lot of grass some water ponds where they are being around during the day.

Amboseli National Park, located in southern Kenya, is well known for its large herds of elephants and breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa’s highest mountain; the park’s open plains, swamps, and seasonal lakes support a wide variety of wildlife such as lions, giraffes, zebras, and many bird species.

Always have your tele-zoom lens ready with a higher shutter for moving animals. With long focal lengths, the aperture may also increase at the maximum focal length, depending on the lens. Therefore, I would check the native ISO for the camera beforehand. Often there are two. Use the higher ISO for more artificial brightness so that you can set the shutter faster. The loss of quality should be minimal.

To enter the park you need to pass the gate. There are two - one in the south and one in the north of the park. The South Gate is closer to wildlife. Make sure your lodge is close by. Self drives are allowed but you should have at least a good 4x4 car. I would prefer a guided tour here.
