Amboseli National Park, nestled in the Loitoktok District of Kenya's Rift Valley Province, spans 392 square kilometers at the heart of a 3,100 square mile ecosystem that extends across the Kenya-Tanzania border. This park is renowned as one of the prime locations in Africa to observe free-ranging elephants up close, along with other diverse wildlife species. Visitors can also engage with the Maasai culture and enjoy stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the world's highest free-standing mountain. Amboseli is characterized by vast skies and expansive horizons, blending swampy springs with dry, dusty terrain trodden by hundreds of animals. The park benefits from an endless underground water source, filtered through volcanic rock from Kilimanjaro’s ice cap, feeding two crystal-clear springs in the park's center. However, the climate here is unpredictable, with the landscape transforming from a swamp during the heavy rains of the early 1990s to dust-covered plains when the rains failed a few years later .
