I would like for you to imagine the following scenes:
Tens of thousands of zebras and wildebeest forming a moving river of animals migrating on the Serengeti
A lioness in the tall grass with three cubs who are playing with each other
Thousands of pink flamingos along the shoreline
A black rhino with its long horn, one of the most endagered animals on the planet, roaming freely
Giraffes standing over 16 feet tall, gracefully walking through the savanna grass
Elephants with their imposing stature, using their trunks to rip grass and splash water
Cheetahs with their beautiful markings stalking prey in the high grass
The Lilac Breasted Roller (Kenya’s national bird), with its amazing colors of blues and pinks alighted on a branch
Hippos with their huge bodies at home in the water
Majestic lions who walk the plains, knowing that they are the “baddest boys in the savanna”
A gorgeous sunset over soaring hills and plains with their flat top acadia trees
I could go on and on, but I think you will get an understanding of why I love to go to Africa on safari. It is an experience which is truly moving as you see all the elements come together - ecosystems, animals, and birds existing alongside man. It is a spiritual experience!
In one day in Maasai Mara, we were able to see the “Big Five” (black rhino, cape buffalo, leopard, elephant, and lion) and witness the migration of over one million zebras and wildebeest. On our trip, we stay in wonderful lodges and the food is outstanding. By the way, because Nairobi and Maasai Mara are located at 5,000 feet above sea level, the temps are in the high 70’s and low 80’s.
If any of this has resonated with you, NOW is the time to sign up for the GVG Tour to Kenya 2024!
