Today you will join us on a safari in Amboseli NP. A short 35minutes flight on a Cessna 208 – Caravan transferred us from the capital city to the rolling flatlands of the Amboseli. The immediate reaction was one of breathtaking views of flatland extending and rising majestically to the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro – Africa’s highest mountain and the World’s highest free standing mountain. As soon as we set foot on the ground, we all instinctively grabbed cameras and pointed our lenses towards the mountain, wanting not to miss out on whatever chances there were to get the peaks glistening in the morning sun, Kibo the highest was clearly visible. A polite tap on my shoulder brought me out of my mini trance to see the smiling face of our guide Thomas (we met him the previous day on our arrival at the international airport). We later came to know that he had driven the previous afternoon from Nairobi to Amboseli inorder to pick us up this morning, it was a great relief to see a familiar face. W
