Amboseli National Park is located on Tanzania’s border, directly to the northwest of Mount Kilimanjaro. In 1968, Amboseli Reserve was created, and in 1974, it was gazetted as a National Park. Part of the considerably larger 3,000 km Amboseli environment, the Park spans 392 km. Amboseli is a well-liked tourist attraction because of the large concentrations of species that occur here during the dry season. The five primary wildlife habitats found in Amboseli National Park are marshland, open grasslands, rocky thorn bush terrain, and acacia forest. The Maasai people own the land in Amboseli. Although Amboseli may appear to be a dry and dusty place, it is actually teeming with water year-round—underground, that is. Kilimanjaro’s snowmelt flows downhill and soaks the porous subsoil rock layers formed by volcanic eruptions. Two clean water springs in the park’s center are the source of several underground streams that the waters converge into.
