3 Days Amboseli Wildlife Safari
Dubbed the Royal Castle of Kilimanjaro, Amboseli national park is located in Masai country and is different in that it is home to various wildlife variety including huge herds of free-ranging African elephants (with some of the biggest tusks in Africa), waterbuck, bushbuck, big/small antelopes, giraffe, buffalo, big cats (lion, leopard, serval, cheetah) and resident wildebeest among other animals, all these against the backdrop of the Majestic snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro, custodian of the African skies and the world highest free-standing mountain at a height of 5,895m. The landscape is a rapturous variety of habitats, from gently rolling savannah plains to dustbowls, seasonal lakes such as Empusel, riverine, swamps laden with wildlife in the heat of the day, rivers from Kilimanjaro’s underground marine network and the famous Observation Hill.
