Ways to explore.
The group ranch has no visitor programme of its own. You see it from the camps and conservancies on its land, and from the park.
From a conservancy camp
Camps on conservancies around the park run their own drives and walks. We confirm which conservancy a camp is on before we say so.
Into the park
Amboseli National Park, which the ranch surrounds, is reached through its gates at Iremito, Kimana and Meshanani.
Visiting with respect
This is community land used by Maasai pastoralists. Any village visit is arranged through your camp.
