The top attraction in Nyati safari camp is Amboseli, and of course, the elephants. On your Amboseli safari, you can expect to see many of the savannah wildlife – giraffes, Grant’s, and Thompson’s gazelles, buffalo, hartebeest, waterbuck, eland, wildebeest, and Burchell’s zebra.

In the drier areas, you will be lucky to spot gerenuk and fringe-eared oryx as well as bat-eared foxes, caracal, jackals, and serval cats. With relations between wildlife and communities improving, the Amboseli predators have made a comeback. You will see lions and hyenas, though cheetahs and leopards remain elusive.

As many as 400 bird species have been counted at Amboseli National Park. The combination of seasonal lakes, permanent swamps, and dry plains makes it a bird watcher’s utopia. There are about 47 species of raptors, including martial eagles, fish eagles, and secretary birds.

Taveta golden weavers are common, and the endangered Madagascan squacco heron is also present. Palearctic migrants appear in the safari low season. With many of Amboseli’s tracks running close to bodies of water, water birds are abundant—long-toed lapwings, rufous-bellied herons, crowned cranes, kingfishers, pelicans, hammerkops, and more.
