A park famous for large herds of elephants walking across the plains with snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro behind, in Tanzania. Swamps fed by Kilimanjaro's snowmelt attract hippos, buffalo and birds.


Mornings give the clearest views of the mountain. Park fees are paid online; most visitors go on a safari tour from Nairobi.
