Amboseli National Park

Amboseli accomodation tips

If you’re planning a road trip to Amboseli National Park, Google Maps offers two options. The most convenient gate to enter Amboseli National Park is Kimana Gate. Avoid the C103 route, branching off at Athi River and heading towards the Namanga border. This road is in a deteriorated state, causing damage to vehicles and significantly increasing travel time. Instead, continue on the Nairobi – Mombasa highway, branch off at Emali town, and follow the well-maintained C102 to Kimana town and the Kimana gate. Nearby, you can find various lodges.
