Which are the main tourist attraction in Amboseli park

The Kilimanjaro is an attraction to the amboseli as far as the good views of the ice caps and the foot of the mountain are concerned. This is the highest free standing mountain in the world and the ceiling of Africa as well. It supplies the swamps of amboseli with millions of gallons of water daily which passes through the underground rivers from the melted ice caps to emerge in amboseli national park as very clean and cool waters. The elephants love this water and are always found inside the water feeding on the water grass.
The other main attraction in amboseli is lake amboseli a dry lake bed in dry months which has shifting mirages that you can see from miles away complete with animals drinking water and birds flying around. The mirages are so real that some tourist s have been tempted to follow them to go and see the animals drinking the water only to realize that they are following a mirage. The lake bed is ghostly white with a salty dust that made the masai name the place as 'empusel' which translates into a place of salty dust.
The amboseli national park also has an observation hill which is a must stop for tourists to be able to see the whole of this park from a birds eye view.
