DESTINATION AFRICA PART 2

We camped in a tent on the hill overlooking the Mara River and all the Masai Mara Reserve. Needless to say, we had a wonderful time and we’ve been able to see almost all the most famous inhabitants of this corner of Africa.



After the first bubbling days in Nairobi, Castelinho38 High Commission has decided to explore the Masai Mara Reserve. The area is considered, together with Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, the most amazing place on earth to see the wild African animals.




The most impressive thing here is the wide space and numbers of animals that freely come and go in between the safari cars. Our favorites are the giraffes and one afternoon during a walking safari around the camp we had the chance to meet a family of 6, but unfortunately our camera ran out of battery and we were unable to catch this unforgettable moment.

Elephants, rhinos, gazelles, zebras, antelopes, hippos and so many other species of mammals live there in harmony with the Masai Tribe, which dedicates most of its time to tending the cattle, cows and sheep outside the reserve. The Masai always use red dress and a wooden stick.




The road to get to Masai Mara is terrible and we had the chance to see a bit of the interior of Kenya, its people and its magnificent landscapes.

We are now heading toward Tanzania where we should spend the next weeks and from where we will write our next travel post.
