We cross the Namanga border town on the border with Tanzania, a semi-desert landscape leading to the Amboseli National Park. Once checked in at a lodge and after having lunch there will be an afternoon safari drive. Amboseli is a huge volcanic plateau, dominated by the majestic peaks of the snowy peaks of Mount Kilimanjaro, a few meters from the border between Kenya and Tanzania. This is the highest mountain in Africa. The mountain is in Tanzanian territory and is clearly visible throughout the park, always present in the background on clear days. Birds are numerous and a special attraction on the lake and wetlands.
