Simba Lodge:

This was a wonderful hotel.  Therefore, we wandered around the hotel after the breakfast.

A monkey made me feel scared yesterday, so I did not dare to walk away.  I just took some pictures of my husband.

On the way to Amboseli

This route passed through Naibori and the traffic jam was terrible.  It took us more than 6 hours!

Take a selfie.

Lunch

There was a gift shop on the way to Amboseli.  Here were tables and chairs and we could eat lunch boxes.  Of course, they offer toilets.

The shop had three cats that looked like dogs because they begged for food when we were eating.  So cute!

 

 

Amboseli

After a long journey, I arrived at Amboseli!

This is a small national park with all kinds of animals as if it was a supermarket which served everything.  That is because this park is beside Mt. Kilimanjaro and there is enough food and water for animals.

However, this park is not good for giraffes since there were not trees in this national park.  Giraffes need to walk out of the park to eat trees where it is extremely dry, so they go back to the national park to drink water. 

Amboseli is famous for viewing elephants and Mt. Kilimanjaro.  You can see elephants everywhere, but it is hard to view Mt, Kilimanjaro.

Our guide, Aden, told us that the elephants in the distance would cross this road in a line and in front of us.  Really?  Elephants stayed around the swamp at the time!  I doubted it “Will they really walk in line?” “Will they cross the road in front of us?  Maybe they will take another route” We should not have doubted our guide!  About 10 minutes later, around 25 elephants divided into 2 groups and crossed the road in a line and in front of us!  He really has profound knowledge about animals.

He also said they would come back to the grass the next day.

Afterwards, giraffes wanted to cross the road as well.
