East African Safari – Kenya and Tanzania

by marissa - Comment is Closed

I went back to Africa to see Kenya and Tanzania and they did not disappoint.

The landscape and culture are similar yet different.

Our hot air balloon ride was glorious, yet not as great as the Cappadocia ride in Turkey.

But, cannot compare due to the scenery available .

Fantastic vacation.

The highlight in Kenya was seeing lions mating every 15 minutes,

while we were chased by an elephant in Tanzania ready to attack us.

It was good that the driver knew what he was doing.

Enjoy the pictures from East Africa with the famous Maasai Mara.

The lovers: lions mating,, YES, we saw them in action
Wildebeest and zebras travel together, but zebras are more intelligent than the wildebeest.

Sunset on a baobab tree
A lone giraffe , but not lonely
The bull elephant in heat that chased us , ready to attack with his fiery eyes and tusks

I am overwhelmed by the presence of animals in both countries.

Migration is real and Maasai Mara drinking fresh blood is also real.

Kenya and Tanzania are my 85th and 86th countries respectively.

To Europe next month! Cheers!
