Why does Amboseli have permanent wetlands?

Direct answer

Although Amboseli lies within a semi-arid environment, underground water from Mount Kilimanjaro flows into the park through subterranean channels. This water emerges in springs and wetlands, creating permanent swamps that sustain wildlife throughout the year.
