Day 8 – Amboseli National Park

Day 8 – Amboseli National Park

Today we will explore the Park which covers only 150 square miles, yet, despite its small size, its fragile ecosystem supports a wide range of mammals (well over 50 of the larger species) and birds (over 400 species). Years ago this was the locale around which such famous writers as Ernest Hemingway and Robert Ruark spun their stories of big-game hunting in the wilds of Africa. It is also the home of the Maasai people. Swamps and springs, fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro’s melting snows form permanent watering places for the wildlife through times of drought.
