Photo Safari - Amboseli

A Kenyan Safari is incomplete without stopping at Amboseli.

Amboseli National Park offers one of the most fantastic and amazing vistas of Kenya, with Mount Kilimanjaro (in Tanzania) as the background. At 18,652 feet above sea level, Kilimanjaro rules the plains like a powerful god ruling the world from his lofty throne. In fact, old Swahili and Arab legends speak of a impressive inland mountain with a terrible god living at the top. As punishment for anybody daring to approach his throne, he would paralyze their feet and hands. Interesting how inhabitants of tropical regions explained being frozen. Mount Kilimanjaro is located in Tanzania but the most impressive view is from Amboseli National Park.

Amboseli gets an abundant amount of water year round, it’s just hiding under the ground. The snow on Mount Kilimanjaro melts, seeping into the porous subsoil layers of volcanic rocks. These underground streams bubble to the surface forming two clear springs in the center of the park. Water also surfaces at several other points in the park creating substantial marshes like the Loginya Swamp. These marshes and swamps have become exclusive spas for elephants, hippos and buffaloes.

Several African Safaris go to Amboseli. So when you’re choosing a safari outfit, you must also think about other features of the trip, such as number of photographers per jeep, accommodations and lodging, and cost.
