What is Observation Hill?
KWS lists Observation Hill, also called Nomatior, among Amboseli’s attractions. It offers panoramic views over the park.
Use the stop to take in the relationship between the open plains and wetland landscape. Bring binoculars for a closer look and allow time to enjoy the view.
Access and mobility
A viewpoint stop is different from a general walking safari. KWS requires visitors to remain in vehicles except in designated areas and to follow permitted routes.
Tell us about mobility needs before booking. Ask us to confirm the suitability of the approach and steps for your party and the conditions expected for your visit. Do not assume step-free access.
Photography and visibility
Think of Observation Hill as a landscape stop. Choose a wide composition, then use binoculars or a longer lens to explore details.
Cloud, haze, light and weather affect the view. Include other interests in your day so the visit does not depend on a clear view of Kilimanjaro.
Fit the stop into your game drive
Tell your guide that you would like to visit the viewpoint. The day’s route must also account for park access, road conditions, camp location and the rest of your itinerary.
Bring water, sun protection and suitable footwear. Follow the guide’s instructions at the designated stop and keep wildlife space clear.
Your safari, your pace
Make it part of your journey.
Tell us your dates, party size, children’s ages and what you would most like to experience. Include this guide’s title or link in your enquiry.
