Natural Environment: The vast plain starts in the dry bed of Amboseli Lake, that welcomes the visitor with its desolating image. Southward and eastward the area named Ol Tukai shows up, a patch of luxuriant green that hides some of the park's lodges. Following southward there is a palm tree forest, a cool oasis that supplies shade, water and shelter for plenty of wildlife. To both sides of the forest it's the swamps' reign, and at the western part rises the Observation Hill, the only height in the park, a smooth hill to be climbed on foot that displays a magnificent view of the whole park and beyond. Southward, the layers of volcanic rocks rise to the surface, giving the landscape a lunar aspect. Finally, at the south border of the park lay several Maasai villages next to the Tortilis Camp. The overall sensation is of a dry land, in fact annual rainfalls are scarce, in the range of 350-400 mm.
