[Kenya] Experience the world of wildlife

Kenya, which lies across the equator in eastern Africa, is known as the "Cradle of Humanity". Human skulls dating back more than 2.5 million years have been unearthed. In the vast grasslands, there are thousands of wild animals such as lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo, cheetahs, zebras, antelopes, hippos, flamingos, etc. This hunting paradise for wealthy Europeans has been completely banned. More than 40 national parks and wildlife reserves have now become a paradise for tourists from all over the world to get close to wild animals. In order to attract Chinese tourists, the Kenyan government has changed the visa for Chinese citizens to visit Kenya from the previous two weeks to just one working day. Although the price of this tourist route is as high as 13,900 yuan, which is more than the current European tour, it is still favored by people who love nature to explore the wild wilderness of Africa. Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is known as Africa’s Little Paris. It is home to many international organizations. The city's National Museum, Liberty Square Animal Orphanage and Giraffe Park are all famous tourist destinations. The most famous attraction is Karen Manor, where the movie "Out of Africa" ??was filmed. It often reminds people of the slightly sad voice of "I Got a Farm in Africa". The Karen area where the estate is located is the most expensive wealthy area 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 of its areas are plateaus above 1,000 meters above sea level and are not very hot. Nairobi is spring-like all year round, with green trees all year round, and it even gets a little cold in the morning and evening. I went to Kenya to see the wildlife. First go to Amboseli National Park in the Massa region, more than 200 kilometers south of Nairobi, and stay at a hotel in the park. Poseli covers an area of ??more than 300 square kilometers and is adjacent to Tanzania. It can overlook the magnificent scenery of Kilimanjaro, the "equatorial snow mountain". Most of the wildlife tracking in Kenya is in the morning and evening, when the weather is cooler and the animals are more active. Climb aboard a special vehicle to chase the largest herd of elephants. Now is the dry season, and the dry grasslands are endless and flat. Relaxed elephants, leaping antelopes, strong wildebeests, and elegant giraffes all take tourists for granted. They just keep a certain distance and do not attack or escape. The treetop hotel in Abu Dar in central Kenya is world famous. The hotel is divided into three floors and is supported by numerous tree trunks. It's like being on top of a tree in your guest room or patio. It is said that Elizabeth was still a princess when she climbed the tree. Because King George VI died suddenly that night, she got down from the tree and became Queen Elizabeth II, making the Treetop Hotel famous overnight. In the hotel, you can watch animals drinking water up close. Even better if you have binoculars. Not far from Mount Kenya, the second highest peak in Africa. From the tree tops to the bird sanctuary of Lake Nakuru Wetlands National Park, walk through Nyahururu Falls and take photos at Equator Zero. After checking into the park hotel, you can take a drive to enjoy the beautiful and magnificent natural scenery of the lake. Lake Nakuru, also known as Flamingo Lake, is home to up to 2 million flamingos, forming an endless pink belt along the lake. When they spread their wings, the sky is red. The park also has the very rare white rhinoceros. Board a ferry at nearby Huasha Lake and you can see hippos swimming in the water. Masamala in the south is Africa's largest game reserve and borders Tanzania National Park, where many of the world's most popular animal documentaries have been filmed. On the way from Nakuru to Masamara you have to cross the majestic Great Rift Valley. Unlike the desolation of Amboseli, Masamara is the African savanna that tourists dream of. Stay in a hotel in the reserve for two nights, bring telephoto telescopes, and follow the footage of animals foraging in the morning. During the day, take a convertible car to watch the swarming beasts, and face to face with large beasts, which is thrilling. Visitors can also take a hot air balloon ride to get a bird's-eye view of the grasslands and animals from the air. Especially when wildebeest, bison and other animals migrate from May to September every year, the scene is even more spectacular. This week-long trip to Wild Kenya is unforgettable.
