Natural scenery
Amboseli National Park is located on the border of Kenya. The park covers an area of 392 square kilometers. Due to its proximity to Mount Kilimanjaro, the top of Africa surrounded by clouds, it attracts groups of tourists. Entering the Amboseli National Park, the first thing you can see is the perennially dry Lake Amboseli (the lake is only visible during the rainy season), which is famous for its spectacular mirages from time to time. Amboseli means "dry lake". ObservationHill and its vicinity are excellent viewing points, and the EnkongoNarok swamp near ObservationHill is a good place to see black rhinos, hippos, elephants, wildebeest, antelope and water buffalo. The oasis beside Kioko Lake to the north of Observation Hill is a bird watching spot, where you can see flocks of flamingos, geese, crowned cranes, Egyptian geese, etc. Elephants: Amboseli is a paradise for elephants, there are huge herds because there are fewer trees here. African elephants are animals with sensitive sense of smell and hearing. Their food mainly includes grass, grass roots, tree buds, shrubs, bark, fruits and vegetables, etc. They drink 30-50 gallons of water every day. Aged around 70 years old. ObservationHill: ObservationHill is located in the southeast of Lake Amboseli. Climbing up the steps on the top of the mountain can overlook the entire national park and watch the well-known peak of Africa, Mt. Kilimanjaro in the distance. Here is Kilimanjaro Snow Mountain. One of the viewing spots in the 19th century, the snow-capped peaks towering and elephants swarmed, this landscape is regarded as the iconic classic picture of Africa.
