2 . Amboseli National Park, Kenya
Getting There
The easiest way to get to Amboseli is by air. Airkenya has daily flights from Wilson Airport in Nairobi and Mombasa Air Safari to Amboseli from Mombasa, Malindi and Diani on the Kenyan Coast. The drive from Nairobi is 4 hours. The road is paved to Namanga but the remaining 75km to Amboseli’s Meshanani Gate is over a rough dirt road. It takes roughly 2.5 hours to cover the 94km between the Chyulu Gate in Tsavo West and Amboseli. The passage on this road should be undertaken only in the presence of an armed convoy. A four-wheel drive vehicle is highly recommended.
When to Travel
The best time to visit Amboseli National Park is the dry season from January through April and June through October when vegetation is thin and animals congregate at the water holes making them easy to spot. The long rains are in April and May and short rains in November and December.
Health & Safety
Amboseli lies in a malaria risk area and travelers’ diarrhea is a common ailment affecting tourists in Kenya. When packing your suitcase don’t forget to include neutral colored, long-sleeved shirts and trousers, DEET insect repellent and high factor sunscreen. Sleep under a treated mosquito net or in a screened or air conditioned room.
Admission & Fees
An entrance fee is charged and, in general, is included in the rate of the safari lodge or camp.
Things to Keep in Mind
Road transfers should be undertaken during the day rather than at night. Be aware and be weary of both small and large tricks.
1. What may be the best choice if we go to Amboseli National Park by land?| A．Going in a group on foot. | B．Going alone with enough food. |

4 . The following are some good shows on Netflix right now. Figuring out what to watch this month has never been easier.
A Series of Unfortunate Events
Fans of the beloved book series will have a great deal of fun out of this three-season Netflix Original Series, which follows the unlucky Baudelaire children through their misadventures with the greedy Count Olaf. Dark, strange and frightening but not quite scary, this is a great show on Netflix for the whole family to see in the fall, and book fans will appreciate how loyal the show is to the books.
Good Girls
Come for the big-name stars — Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman as the good girls — and stay for the drama, action, and comedy, which seem to come in equal measure through all two seasons currently available on Netflix. You’ll laugh, will feel the pain of being a middle-class mom with a tight income, and will be shocked at the funny manners these women get into.
Outer Banks
It may only be one season long (for now), but this fresh Netflix Original Series is supremely worth seeing. It was in the top-10 ranking of the most popular movies and shows on Netflix for weeks after its release for good reason: The show follows a band of teens treasure hunting, fishing, surfing, and occasionally avoiding bullets in North Carolina’s Outer Banks. If the action-packed drama, charming characters don’t get you, the beautiful coastal scenery and warm-weather atmosphere will.
