Amboseli SafariAmboseli lies immediately North West of Mt. Kilimanjaro, on the border with Tanzania.The National Park embodies five main wildlife habitats. Open plains, acacia woodland, rocky thorn bush country, swamps and marshland. This park covers part of a pleistocene lake basin, now dry. Within this basin is a temporary lake, Lake Amboseli, that floods during years of heavy rainfall. Amboseli is famous for its big game and its great scenic beauty - the landscape is dominated by Mt. Kilimanjaro. Despite being fairly small (just over 150 sq miles) Amboseli is home to over 50 species of mammal and 400 species of birds many of which live in and around the swamps. These are fed all year round by underground rivers from Kilimanjaro, unlike Lake Amboseli which, though large, is seasonal. The dry lake does however provide a fairly spectacular site; there is an extremely convincing mirage which shows an expanse of water, complete with birds and animals drinking from and reflected in it. Why not engage yourself in the Amboseli - Kilimanjaro balloon safari. Early in the morning, you will be woken and driven to the departure site. The balloon drifts with the gentle wind across the myriad of pinks, oranges and purples lighting up the Amboseli sky as you watch the spectacular 'African sunrise' peaking around Mount Kilimanjaro. Hot air ballooning is without doubt the most romantic way to fly. Imagine floating over the open plains and watching as the sunrise turns the awe inspiring Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest in Africa, into a purple hue, and the snows on its Kibo peak, a delicate pink. The magnificent sight of Mount Kilimanjaro above herds of elephant crossing the plains of Amboseli is a timeless African image and one of life's most memorable experiences. Experience the hot air balloon safari with friends and take a group photo with the Mount Kilimanjaro peak opening up to the early morning chill.. |
