0USD per person
3 Days Elephant and Kilimanjaro Amboseli Safari explores the world of elephant and wildlife photography at Amboseli, with the Mount Kilimanjaro back drop. Amboseli National Park is the best safari destination to photograph the African elephant, in the golden dusty hour with stunning sunsets and sunrises. The Amboseli ecosystem is dry but right at the heart of the park are swamps. The swamps are fed by water from Africa’s highest mountain, the Mount Kilimanjaro which towers over the park. Rain water and melting snow percolates through the porous volcanic rock, and through hydro-static force the water emerges in the swamps. This gives the animals a life line and attracts huge herds of elephants, zebras wildebeest and other antelopes to the 392 square kilometer conservation area. This being a dry and hot place the elephants spend the day feeding on the soft grass in the swamp alongside the hippos. This also keeps them cool and they are guaranteed of water. In the evening as it starts to cool off, the gentle giants leave the swamps and venture out, they wonder off beyond the park borders for a change of diet as well. on the 3 Days Elephant and Kilimanjaro Amboseli Safari Tour you will be able to experience this and much more. In the morning, the different families walk in a file s they head to the swamps for the life giving water, food and a wallow in the mud. It is when they are making this movements that they provide you with fantastic photo opportunities. Being in the mornings and evenings the golden light, and the dust the blow as they walk makes for a perfect photo composition. Sometimes you get the crossing the dry lake Amboseli and the millage plays out perfectly and on a lucky day the clouds and hills in the background make a perfect set for monochrome photography.
