    • Favorite Thing: Altough there is plenty of permanent water in the Amboselli park, there are also parts that are very dry. The Masai in the area need to give water to the cows, so in dry times truck get water from the park and transport it to the villages so the Masai cows can drink.

    All the water in Amboseli comes from Mt Kilimanjaro. The icecap on this mountain is almost gone tough, so how long will the waters be permanent in Amboseli???

     Excellent Amboseli page! The pictures of the Masia were very interesting. Do you think going to the Masai village is worthwhile, or do you think it's too commercial? ~ Helen    		Jim_Eliason Sun Dec 18, 2005 18:02 UTC
     Looks like it was a fantastic adventure!
