Amboseli National Park

AMBOSELI NATIONAL RESERVE/ AMBOSELI NATIONAL PARK
I have always wanted to visit Amboseli National reserve in Kenya. I had heard alot about Amboseli National Reserve formerly known as Amboseli National Park. From her famous big Jumbos( Elephants) to the view of the snow- capped peak of Mt Kilimanjaro, the park is one you cant miss to visit in Kenya. My grandfather always talked about their trip to Amboseli, he loved Elephants and in these place he found all that he wanted to see. If you could hear my grandpa talk about this place, you would definitely put it in your list of places to visit while on vacation in Kenya. After my grandpa passed away in January 2010, i decide to visit Amboseli National park, this was not my first time in Kenya, i have been in Kenya several time and done safaris, but never visited Amboseli national reserve because of tight schedules.
The next thing i decided was to contact my travel agent in Kenya, Inside Africa Budget Safaris since they are the ones who handle all my travel while in Kenya and Tanzania. I have grown to love them because of their wonderful service and treating me as one of them. I told them that i will be visiting, and they should arrange for me a 6 day trip with Amboseli national reserve included. Amboseli is Kenyas moat spectacular displays of wildlife, lion, elephants, leopards, cheetah and bufallo creating Kenyas most sought after photographers parade.
When the D day finally came, me and my wife landed in Jomo Kenyatta Airport where we were picked up by our agents and transfered to the hotel. We were later taken to Carnivore restaurant for dinner, here there are all types of bush meat and very tasty too. We later retired back to the hotel for overnight. The next morning we were picked up by our driver "Jomba" his a very good man and friendly too.Before we left, we passed to the market to pick up our cook, "Mkorino" that is his name, i tell you this, the guy is wonderful and id you ever make this trip with this agency for camping in Amboseli, demand for this cook ( Mkorino).
We finally departed for Amboseli national reserve, we were just the two of us plus the driver and cook, we had booked for private tour. Amboseli lies about 250km from Nairobi on the border with Tanzania at the foot of Africa's highest point, kibo, peeps beautifully from the clouds especially in early mornings and evenings.The camp we were going to stay in is in the middle of the park and without a fence. One practically lives with the animals, its no place for the faint heated. The elephant bones arranged outside showed their dedication to this large animals.We had a evening game drive taking the wandering circuits around the park, looking for animals. At longinye swamp we came across a herd of bufalloes grazing in the swamp. They glared balefully at our intruding party probably wondering why humans could not just mind their own business. A few metres away, a herd of elephants was grazing too. Beside the swamp, there were some remains of elephants clearly indicating how bad the drought affected them the previous year.
