The Amboseli
This
seasonal swamp of 3,810 sq. km, is
one of the finest areas in the
country for big g ame 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.
