If you want to see elephants, there aren't many places that can compare with Amboseli National Park in Kenya. Underground springs bring melt water from Mt. Kilimanjaro into the swamps of Amboseli, and that water brings in the large groups...

In my last post, I mentioned that the Masai Mara is mostly known for it's big cats. While that's true, there wouldn't be any predators around if there wasn't plenty to eat. That's what this post is about; all the other treasures in the...
