Amboseli Ecosystem
The Amboseli ecosystem
The Amboseli ecosystem is dry but right at the heart of the park are swamps as you will discover on 4 Days Explore Amboseli Kenya Safari. 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.
Perfect for wildlife photography
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 4 Days Explore Amboseli Kenya Safari you will be able to experience this and much more. In the morning, the different families walk in a files they head to the swamps for the life giving water, food and a wallow in the mud.
