The
Amboseli This
seasonal swamp of
3,810 sq. km, is
one of the finest
areas in the country
for big game photography,
attracting a vast
population of wildlife.
The landscape, with
its parched alkaline
pan and strange
mirages, is everywhere
dominated by the
glistening majestic
snowcap of Mount
Kilimanjaro, a extinct
volcano of 5,894
m. known as the
"roof of Africa".
This
is Masai country,
a proud nomadic
people, who have
lived in harmony
with nature for
centuries. Game
viewing is an adventure
in this park, with
lion, cheetah and
buffalo almost an
assured sight and
hosts of antelope,
zebra and other
small creatures
of the wild. Bird
life is abundant.
But the most impressive
inhabitants of this
arid landscape are
the elephants, moving
in large columns
in their daily peregrination
to the water.
