Warthog’s, Zebra’s and over 425 species of birds recorded here. The snowcapped
peak of Kilimanjaro rising above white clouds dominates every aspect of Amboseli
and forms a backdrop to an impressive display of wildlife attracted to this location
by swamps and springs fed by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro’s melting snow.
