Loved the bowl-shaped park, ringed by mountains with Kilimanjaro being the jewel in the crown. Volcanic rock makes up the well-designed roads. Not many trees but protected areas to discourage damage by elephants. Saw hundreds of elephants and their babies. Local Maasi village not to be missed. More

Frequent sightings of elephant in open plains with Mt. Kilimanjaro as backdrop. Good and diverse bird sightings - in open plains and in swamps. However, we saw no predator cats. More

This is a great park with lots of birds and hippos. It's a shame the trees are disappearing so fast but it is still a great place to visit, even better if the clouds are not on Mt. Kilimanjaro. It is still very heavly travelled but worth it. More
