The biggest attraction in an Amboseli national park day trip is Mount Kilimanjaro which is the tallest mountain in the continent. Mt Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania but just next to Amboseli national park. Infact, the best views of mt Kilimanjaro are only seen from Amboseli Game Park since it’s on the leeward side and has less vegetation and valleys. Mt Kilimanjaro can be seen with its white snow covered peak and the giant foot that is always covered in a blue hue. It is humbling to watch the snow covered peak projecting inside the white clouds and almost seems to grow from the clouds.
