Kenya: Amboselli NP – Elephants & Wetlands

Amboselli National Park is located just below Kilimanjaro in the Kenyan side. It’s probably the second most spectacular park after Maasai Mara. What Amboselli is really famous for are the elephant herds and many elephants with massive tusks. In fact – it’s considered the best place in Africa to observe and get close to elephants. The parks is a wide open plane that contains both dry savanna and two large swamps. The elephants spent a lot of the midday heat semi-submerged in the water, bathing and feasting on the water plants. There is a hill in the middle of the park (the only elevated spot) from which you can look at the elephants down below.
