Traveller notes on Amboseli in February
Other months in Amboseli
Amboseli's forum calls July excellent for game viewing — the dry season pulls wildlife in close around the few remaining watering holes, with cool mornings giving way to warm, sunny days. Regulars still recommend a warm layer for early drives and evenings, since it gets genuinely cool once the sun's not directly overhead.
