In the southern area there are a number of small, rocky, volcanic hills. Around the Olokenya and Enkongo Narok swamps, the vegetation is lush with yellow-barked acacias and phoenix palms. Amboseli National Park is famous for being the best place in the world to get close to free-ranging elephants. Amboseli was home to Echo, perhaps the most researched elephant in the world, and the subject of many books/documentaries followed for almost four decades by American conservationist Dr. Cynthia Moss. The park offers some of the best opportunities to see African wildlife because the vegetation is sparse due to the long, dry months. The protected area is home to African bush elephants, Cape buffalo, impala, lion, cheetah, spotted hyena among others.
