After returning to Amman International Airport, the Boeing BBJ3 departs again, heading south across the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, before landing at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, Kenya, the capital of the East African highlands.The reason why they came here was that Yang Jing and Gege wanted to see the best wildlife sanctuary in the world.This safari park is known as the Maasai Mara Wildlife Sanctuary.There are countless wildlife sanctuaries in the world, but if you want to talk about the most complete variety and the most pristine scenery, it really has to be the Masai Mara Wildlife Sanctuary.The Maasai Mara Wildlife Sanctuary is located in the southwest corner of Kenya, a wildlife paradise in Kenya and throughout Africa.There are about 60 wildlife parks scattered around this wildlife reserve, which is about the size of Huaxiachuan Province, 26 of which are national-level wildlife reserves.Composed of rolling hillsides, open grasslands, woodlands and riparian forests, the entire reserve is the world's largest home for wild feeding animals in this unique animal kingdom, with 95 species of breeding animals and 450 species of birds, it is the habitat with the highest concentration of animals and the most colorful wilderness, so it is considered the most famous wildlife sanctuary in the world, and can be called the "crown of the park" among the many wildlife reserves in Kenya.The four major attractions in Africa are recognized as the top four must-see attractions in the world, such as the Pyramids of Egypt, the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa, the Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe, and the Masai Mara Wildlife Sanctuary in Kenya.After getting off the plane, the group drove six land patrol vehicles and began to march westward, and it took more than five hours to arrive at the small village of Oloiutiek, which is about 200 kilometers away from Nairobi.Oloiutiek is a small village that could not be smaller, a village of the Maasai people.Don't miss this village but it is very famous, around the surrounding area, there are a total of about 20 star hotels and campsites.Because this small village is on the edge of the Maasai Mara Wildlife Sanctuary, it's the best starting point and supply point for exploring the reserve by car.When Yang Jing and the others arrived at the village, it was already late in the evening, but instead of staying in the hotels, they stayed at the Masai Mara Manyata campsite on the north side of the village.When you come to this kind of place, you can play in the original ecology, and you can best experience the original style here by sleeping in a tent or RV in a campsite.Early the next morning, the group set off with the local guide.The guide, named Moussa, was a native of Maasai who spoke English, and he was referring to this profession to support his family."
Our village is close to the border between Kenya and Tanzania, and about 180 kilometres west of our village is Lake Victoria, and if you want to see the second largest freshwater lake in the world, then you can stay in Muhoro tonight on the east side of the lake, so that you will have plenty of time to visit that big lake tomorrow.But again, if you make it tonight, you probably won't see the most spectacular view of the reserve, the great migration of the million-wildebeest. ”Musa, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, commanded the march to that road and said to Yang Jing and Gege.There are no asphalt or concrete roads to enter the reserve from the campsite, but only dirt roads pressed by vehicles.And because tourists have to go to different places to enjoy the wildlife, there are many of them one by one, and each dirt road goes to a different place.Here, small herds of zebras and wildebeest can already be seen at will.In the African savannah, zebras and wildebeests always get together, even during the Great Migration.It's a kind of cross-racial relationship: "Thank you for the reminder, Musa, but we are planning to stay in the reserve for two or three days, and when we're done with the reserve, we'll go to the Great Lake." ”"Hehe, you made the right choice.If nothing else, you'll be able to see a spectacular view of the wildebeest migration in a few days. ”Hearing Musa say this, Gege asked curiously, "Musa, doesn't the great wildebeest migration start in late October every year?"
It's only the middle of October, so are the wildebeest already assembled by this time?
”"You're right, but this year is a bit of a special situation.""
This summer we received a lot less rain than normal in our country, so the dry season came more than 10 days earlier than usual.These cute elves are the most sensitive to climate changes, so they are ready for the 800-kilometer migration. ”Kenya is an equatorial country in its true prowess, and the equator runs through the south-central part of the country.So, every year in June, the Serengeti savannah, which covers southern Kenya and northern Tanzania, enters the dry season.At this time, millions of wildebeest began to migrate north in herds.This vast army of animals sometimes stretches more than 10 kilometers and migrates up to 800 kilometers, with animals such as zebras, Thompson's gazelles and African buffaloes along the way.The Masai Mara savannah in June is in the middle of the rainy season, and the abundance of water and grass is just right to feed these natural hikers.But in late October, when a severe drought began to hit the Masai Mara, the wildebeest army had to move south back to the Serengeti savannahs in Tanzania to await the rainy season.The song of the prairie wandering, which is performed regularly year after year, is already the largest animal migration on the planet today.The Great Wildebeest Migration in East Africa is definitely the most spectacular animal migration process in the world, and the reason why Yang Jing and Gege came here is also for this goal.Originally, they wanted to stay here for more than ten days, but they didn't expect this year's great migration to be advanced.In fact, as the vehicles continue to move towards the reserve, more and more wildebeests, zebras, African buffaloes, gazelles and other animals have appeared in front of them, and some elephants have also gathered together to lazily walk slowly, and from time to time in the small rivers and lakes, hippos, rhinoceros and other large animals can be seen at any time.Of course, in these small rivers and lakes, you can also see a looming black figure from time to time, which is the most ferocious and insidious hunter in the African savannah - the Nile crocodile!
Of course, how can this place be without the king of the African savannah - the lion pack?
After driving on the dirt road for more than an hour, the car was already deep into the reserve.Randomly found a small hill with slightly higher ground, the convoy drove up, and the group got out of the car.Standing here, you can see the vast grasslands that you can't see as far as you can see, with hills, gentle slopes, winding rivers, groves and shrubs, and beautiful acacia trees endemic to Africa.Although the rainy season has now passed and the thatch is starting to turn yellow, it is still colorful in the sun.The vast savannah, and on the hillsides in the distance, are full of wildebeest and zebra as far as the eye can see, and the sheer number of them is truly astonishing.It is usually good to have one or two of these animals in the zoo in China, but here, the number of these animals is in hundreds.It's really hard to see this spectacular view if you don't come here.In fact, there are more than a million wildebeest and hundreds of thousands of zebras in this huge reserve.Below this small hill is a small lake about ten acres in size, where some wildebeests, zebras and a few tall giraffes are drinking from the lake.And about 200 meters away from the lake, a group of about a dozen lions was clearly visible.The lions may have just had a good meal, so each lions looked lazy and unwilling to move.Some wildebeest and zebra were eating the wild grass less than 50 meters away from the lion herd, as if they were not afraid of the lions."
Yang Jing, look, is there a crocodile in that small lake?"
Gege covered his mouth and pointed to the small lake under the small hill and exclaimed in a low voice, and a group of people looked in the direction that Gege was pointing, just in time to see a black back slowly sinking into the lake, and there was only a small wave on the surface of the lake, but then it disappeared.And by the lake, a small Thompson gazelle was drinking, obviously, judging from the direction of the Nile crocodile's head, the ferocious big guy had already caught a glimpse of this innocent little antelope "Yang Jing, should we remind that little antelope?"
Oh my God, it's so pathetic" Gege grabbed Yang Jing's arm tightly.Yang Jing shook his head slightly and said, "No, we can't do that.This is Africa, and the principle here is that the law of the jungle is the jungle.If the antelope was clever enough, the crocodile would not have been able to catch it anyway.Otherwise, it would be a matter of fate.As outsiders, we should not easily break the rules of the jungle here. ”"But" Gege still wanted to persuade Yang Jing, but the next moment she couldn't control her exclamation.It may be that the gazelle was so thirsty that it didn't even notice the arrival of the Nile crocodile, and was still drinking with its head down.And by the time the little antelope noticed the crocodile coming, it was too late to dodge.The Nile crocodile was as fast as a flint lightstone, and it poked out half of its body from the water, and its huge mouth was about to hit the gazelle's head with a fierce mouth.The next moment, no matter how much the gazelle struggled, it couldn't break free from the giant mouth of the Nile crocodile.And this Nile crocodile was like a strong man shaking a small bag, his huge mouth bit the head of the gazelle, and his neck shook from side to side, and in just a few strokes, the gazelle was completely silent - the poor gazelle's neck had been completely broken by this bloody scene, which made several ladies, including Gege, turn pale.This kind of scene that happens on the East African savannah every day I don't know how many times really scares them.ps: Five more and fifteen thousand are over!
At the same time, this book has the first alliance leader to kiss his brother, and Lao Mo is grateful.Lao Mo is a part-time writer, and his level of writing is not high, so he can't compare with those great gods who are often dozens, hundreds, or even hundreds.But there is still an alliance leader in this book, and Lao Mo is really happy in his heart.Recalling the last book "Grandmaster Superstar", the "Ziyan Tianjiao" brother, who ranked second on the fan list of this book, also rewarded an alliance leader for that book at that time, which was the first alliance leader in Lao Mo's writing career, and Lao Mo always remembered it.The leader of the alliance represents the affirmation of my book friends as a hand-wrecked writer, and the old ink has nothing to repay, so he can only code the words overnight until half past five in the morning, and the more three chapters are out, with the speed of the old ink code words, he has really tried his best.I don't want to say anything, but I still thank the league leader for the reward of the first kiss brother, and also thank the many other book friends who give monthly passes, recommended tickets and rewards for their support!
Thank you!
