Amboseli National Park - A Wildlife Photographer's Guide.

Thank you for watching our video.

Amboseli National Park is famous for shots of large "tuskers" walking past the snow-capped mountains of Mount Kilimanjaro, but Janine wanted to know what else this iconic Kenyan National Park has to offer.

In this video, Janine will explain all you would need to know to plan a trip to Amboseli National Park, where to photograph when you travel and more inspiration as to the types of photos you could expect to take.

Have you ever been to Amboseli? Will you be adding it to your wish list now if not?

What a wonderful video, thank you! I enjoy your videos a lot! :) We were really lucky two weeks ago - we only had a 1 1/2 hours long Safari in Amboseli and we saw Craig browsing in a little pond right in front of Kili before sunset, with Egrets on his back and surrounded by Ibises and Nile Goose. Kili wasn't fully visible, but still what a breathtaking view! 😍

Nice report and beautiful photos. The flamingos under full moon are fanastic. There is one small disconnect in the video. At mark 2:06-2:08 the narration says you can photograph small cats but the animal featured is an African civet, which is not in the cat family. (It appears again at 14:58).

I spent about 3 days there and 3 days at Tsavo National Park in if I remember 1975. A once in a lifetime experience for me. Just amazing !

Another fantastic video. I loved the flamingo in the moon light. Congratulations on the big award at the World Travel Awards.

Hi,
I watch your videos as O am trying to learn photography. It was amazing to see this one.
I was fifteen when we visited Amboseli in 1965.
I have not seen anything relative to it since then.
Just loved having my memories restored. Thank you.

Your photography is outstanding, Janine! Those elephant shots were awesome... but I still thing the moonlit flamingos were magical!

Janine, get another superbly well done video with absolutely breathtaking images! I look forward to a time when I can join Pangolin in Amboseli! The Moon over the flamingos was very special!

Beautiful video; the flamingos under the moon, the herds of elephants by Kilimanjaro and big tuskers were unique; I have never seen something this beautiful; see you in March in Chobe

Hi Janine - I missed you during my stay this past February at the Pangolin hotel. I had the privilege of meeting Tim in November, 2019, only a few months before he died. Amboseli is such a unique place and, along with Mana Pools and Kidepo Valley NP, one of my favorites. I look forward to getting back out into the wilds of Africa soon. All the best to you and the Pangolin team.
