Wilderness
>> Amboseli
 Amboseli
is a land of giants
This is a place of wide dry plains,
where the horizons stretch into the furthest distance and become one
with the sky. Amboseli is renowned for its elephant populations and
large herds, including some impressively tusked bulls are drawn to a
series of large, lush swamplands.

This
area is home to many Maasai communities, centred around the Amboseli
National Park. The park is 400 sq kms, with its southern boundary
along the Tanzanian border.
The park is home to more than
just Elephants, and herds of wildebeest, zebra and impala graze on
the open plains.. There are areas of acacia forest that make for
good birding, and are home to many small mammals. Cheetah are also
often sighted here.
The park is centred around a large
hill, with fantastic views of the surrounding plains, often crossed
by whirlwinds that send winding columns of dust into the sky.
This
open country is good walking territory, and many camps and lodges
organise game walks, or trips to spend time in local Maasai
villages....
