A trip to Masai Mara to see animals is the highlight of his trip to Kenya. The Masai Mara National Reserve is located in southwestern Kenya and Tanzania and is connected to the Serengeti Animal Reserve in Tanzania. The reserve was built in 1961 and covers an area of 1800 square kilometers. The reserve has a large number of animals, about 95 species of mammals and 450 species of birds, this is one of the best wildlife reserves in the world. From the map, the borders between Kenya and Tanzania are used for two prairies.
Masai Mara National Reserve was held three times, for the first time at noon on the same day it was about two hours, mainly for familiarization viewing. The second time was FULLDAY SAFARI, the next day, from 9 am to 4:30 pm, went deep into the meadows and saw many animals. The third time is the third day of the morning from 6:30 to 9:00, the purpose of which is to observe the hunting of animals.
Entering the gate of the reserve, the first thing you can see is the skull of various wild animals. Let people first feel the cruel side of nature.
We are in a car of this type to enter the sanctuary. The car usually looks like a regular van. The difference is in the canopy. When you watch animals, move the canopy and watch it from all four directions. Colleagues asked if there were any fences around them. Are they afraid of animal attacks? In fact, the driver or guide is very experienced: they know which animals can attack people and which cannot, and it's safe. However, just in case, our group fee still includes the necessary insurance.
Although the African buffalo is a herbivore, it is definitely a terrible beast. In the face of the Wei Association, led by an adult bull, the formation of the square rushed to the invaders. It is believed that in the face of this formation, any animal has only one dead end.
A bull stands in the middle of the road and looks at our car. It is less than ten meters from us. We are still urinating while we are still. SUMMER said it was a sign that he was going to be angry. SUMMER stopped the car and stagnated for a while. SUMMER decided to take a step back. The car slowly rolled back more than ten meters. When we saw that we had retreated, we suppressed the alarm and slowly went into the grass. SUMMER waited a while, and saw that he had gone a little further before restarting the machine. Before the opening, the bull looked at us in the grass and left.
The lion is another large hunting animal of the Masai Mara, an African lion. If the cheetah is invincible handsome, then the lion is definitely mature and steady. We call FULLDAY SAFARI “Lion Day” because on this day we saw more than 20 lions. Some hide under a tree to watch the hunt, some walk in the meadows and sleep under the bushes, but, unfortunately, they did not see the big movie.
They just walked past our car and turned a blind eye to us. SUMMER said that a lion does not like the smell of people. If he is not very hungry, he will not attack people. Looking back, I did not feel fear from beginning to end, all this stemmed from confidence in SUMMER. I asked several times a day if I could go to the meadow and run, and SUMMER replied: “NO!” Later we began to say the same: “NO!” SUMMER said that the grass in the meadows is very high, and which animals are hidden under it . Knowing that it is difficult to guarantee security. On the way, visitors who saw another car got down and ran to the nearest bushes. SUMMER said this is a very dangerous behavior. Leo liked to rest in the bushes. I do not know why the driver allowed them to do this. Then SUMMER really Take us to see a lion sleeping in the bushes.
SUMMER will be inspected during the driving process. He often said: "I will try to show you more animals, I promise." As soon as he suddenly stopped, let the telescope borrow it every day, he examined it with a telescope, I turned around and left the car on a hillside, opened a bush near the bush and showed us a lion in a nap. There were about five or six goals. Are we all amazed at how he discovered this? The distance is so far, and the color of the lion is so close to the color of the grass that he proudly said that he saw small gray hair, similar to the hair on the lion’s stomach, so he definitely admired the telescope.
Although SUMMER said that lions do not like the smell of people, he is still very careful. A full lunch SAFARI is brought in the morning, each person has a lunch box, can not let the smell of meat come out? Sandwiches, fried chicken legs, bananas and drinks.
Zebras, gazelles and wildebeests live in harmony and have fun. It seems calm, but it’s actually a crisis. Especially in the early morning and evening, this is the time for hunting for cheetahs and lions. These herbivores should always be alert
Ponds inhabited by hippos are dirty and smelly, but hippos are very happy. During the day, they usually bury their entire body in water. When the airways are needed, the nostrils are exposed to water and the nose screams out of the water. We all like to know how the hippo breathes, and it's so sweet. The pair of small eyes and small ears of the hippo is also very cute, although the ears are small, the movements are very flexible, and they move from time to time to drive away mosquitoes.
Masai Mara can allow visitors to experience the true side of nature in safety. When I go home to see the pictures, my grandmother looks at so many animals and in surprise asks: “So many animals must feed many.” We said no. People feed them, they all feed on their own. Every day there are films about life and death, and every day a new life is born here.
