Afforestation of the Amboseli National Park by the Ol Tukai Lodge Staff and Guests in Kenya
31st March, 2018
The Amboseli National Park is amongst the low rainfall areas in Kenya despite being beneath the crown of Mount Kilimanjaro. While the rivers remain dry for most part of the year, the only lake in the area is able to sustain a small number of birdlife. But, it is the swamp near the Ol Tukai Lodge that sustains the wildlife throughout the year.
Offloading the 150 Tree Seedlings
However, this year, Kenya has seen one of its heaviest rainfall seasons in a long time according to the Kenya Metrological Department. Thus, we took this up as an excellent opportunity to plant 150 seedlings on 31st March 2018.
