[Kenya] Experience the Wild Animal World

Kenya, which straddles the equator in eastern Africa, is known as the "cradle of mankind". More than 2.5 million years ago, human skulls were unearthed. On the vast grassland, there are thousands of wild animals such as lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, buffaloes, cheetahs, zebras, antelopes, hippos and flamingos. This hunting paradise for the rich in Europe has been completely banned, and more than 40 national parks and wildlife reserves have now become a paradise for tourists from all over the world to get close to wildlife. In order to attract tourists from China, the Kenyan government changed the visa for China citizens to visit Kenya from the past two weeks to only one working day. Although the price of this tourist route is as high as 13900 yuan, which exceeds the current European tour, it is still favored by people who love nature to explore the wild wasteland in Africa. Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is called the Little Paris of Africa. It is home to many international organizations. The National Museum, Freedom Square Animal Orphanage and Giraffe Park in the city are all famous places to visit. The most famous scenic spot is Karen Manor, where the film Out of Africa was filmed, which often reminds people of the slightly sad voice of I have a farm in Africa. Karen district, where the manor is located, is the most expensive rich district in Nairobi. Visitors can appreciate the luxurious life of British colonists a hundred years ago from various original displays. Although Kenya straddles the equator, most areas are plateaus above 1000 meters above sea level, which is not very hot. Nairobi is like spring all the year round. There are trees all the year round, and it is even a little cold in the morning and evening. I went to Kenya to see wild animals. First go to Masan Boselli National Park, more than 200 kilometers south of Nairobi, and stay in a hotel in the park. Poselli covers an area of more than 300 square kilometers, adjacent to Tanzania, overlooking the magnificent scenery of Kilimanjaro, the "equatorial snow mountain". Most of the wild animals tracked in Kenya are in the morning and evening, when the weather is cooler and the animals are more active. Get on a special vehicle and chase the biggest elephant group. Now is the dry season, and the dry grassland is endless and flat. Easy elephants, leaping antelopes, strong wildebeests and elegant giraffes are used to tourists, just keeping a certain distance, not attacking or running away. The treetop hotel in Abdul, central Kenya, is world-famous. The hotel is divided into three floors, supported by countless trunks. It's like being on the top of a tree in a guest room or terrace. It is said that Elizabeth was a princess when she climbed a tree. Because King George VI died suddenly that night, she came down from the tree and became Queen Elizabeth II. The Tree Top Hotel became famous overnight. In the hotel, you can watch the animals drinking water at close range. It would be better if you had binoculars. Not far from Mount Kenya, the second highest mountain in Africa. From the top of the tree to the bird sanctuary in Nakuru Lake Wetland National Park, you can cross Nyahuulu Waterfall and take photos at the zero equator. After staying at the Park Hotel, you can enjoy the beautiful and magnificent natural scenery of the lake by car. Lake Nakuru, also known as Flamingo Lake, is home to as many as 2 million flamingos, forming an endless pink belt along the lake, and the sky is red when spreading its wings and flying. There are also very rare white rhinos in the park. Boarding the ferry in the nearby Huasha Lake, you can see hippos swimming in the water. Masamala in the south is the largest wildlife reserve in Africa, adjacent to Tanzania National Park, where many of the world's most popular animal documentaries were filmed. On the way from Nakuru to Masamala, you must cross the majestic Great Rift Valley in East Africa. Unlike the desolation of Amboseli, Masamala is the African prairie that tourists dream of. Stay in a hotel in the reserve for two nights, bring a telephoto telescope, track the footage of animals foraging in the morning, enjoy the swarming beasts in the convertible during the day, and face the big beasts face to face, which is thrilling. Visitors can also take a hot air balloon and have a bird's eye view of grasslands and animals from the air. Especially when wildebeests, bison and other animals migrate from May to September every year, the scene is even more spectacular. The week-long trip to wild Kenya is unforgettable.
