IMPRESSIONS OF AMBOSELI “There is nothing more important than to excite enthusiasm.” Picasso ‘Impressions of Amboseli’ is a charming little book, written by Cynthia Moss and beautifully illustrated with original paintings by Sophie Walbeoffe, which hopes to enthuse the reader’s spirit and encourage support for the Amboseli Trust for Elelphants (ATE) founded by Cynthia in 2000, to ensure the longterm conservation and welfare of African elephants. The book includes notes from Sophie’s diary as she paints her illustrations and a delightful account of Cynthia’s 47 years studying the magnificent elephants of Amboseli, its history, landscapes and people. ‘Impressions of Amboseli’ costs Ksh 3,000/- and can be purchased from the Amboseli Trust for Elephants. All proceeds go towards ATE.
