Nalanshiqi and Yunluo's guides were more experienced. They didn't just look for large animals based on signals from their companions on the radio, but preferred to find them on their own. In the Masai Mara, Nalanshiqi and Yunluo's car first spotted four lions, and most of them were spotted when Nalanshiqi and Yunluo were taking photos and preparing to leave.

The large group that received the message through the radio just arrived. At this time, the lion had disappeared into the bushes, as if it had just shown up specifically to welcome Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. How cool.

This is the last stop for Nalanshiqi and Yunluo, and also the one they longed for the most. Nalanshiqi and Yunluo stayed here for 3 days. It turned out that it was wise to go to Masai Mara last, because if they went here first, they would not be surprised no matter how many large animals they saw in the later attractions.

The variety, quantity and density of animals here are unmatched by other scenic spots. This is not to say that scenic spots such as Amberseli and Nakuru have no merits. After all, different natural landscapes, such as snow-capped mountains and lakeside, are very different. It’s just that as long as you stay here long enough, you can basically see all the animals.

In addition to lions, another attraction here is the wildebeest crossing the river. Because we booked very late, many hotels were full, so Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo finally stayed at Olmorancamp, which is near the long-named Oloo gate on the east side, and the Mara River is on the west, so they only went there during the full-day game drive.

When Nalan Shiqi and Yun Luo's vehicles passed through hillside after hillside and clumps of yellow grass, they suddenly saw a bright and beautiful scene, like seeing a Peach Blossom Spring: densely packed wildebeests, zebras, and Thompson's gazelles gathered on the plain, so dense that they looked like an ancient army formation. It was very imposing.

I suddenly felt that I was so naive to get so excited when I saw one or two wildebeests. Of course, a friendly reminder to people with trypophobia to be careful, haha. At this time, I felt that it would be great to have a wide-angle lens, but Yunluo didn't have one.

Standing on the plains beside the Mara River, you can see the Serengeti grasslands in Tanzania across the river. The grass here has been "trimmed" by wildebeests and zebras, leaving only grass roots. Some places have been burned by fire from the sky. It's all black. Looking across, the grass is fresh and the fallen petals are colorful. It's a paradise on earth, a ** society with extremely rich material and spiritual life.

At this moment, the wildebeests and zebras (and the young gazelles) are faced with the Mara River: if they cross the river, they will have a good life, but if they stay there, they will die without food. This situation is just like the large number of illegal immigrants from Mexico pouring into the United States: if they cross the river, they will have a good life, but if they cannot cross it, they may starve to death.

But this hurdle is not so easy to cross: there are hungry crocodiles in the river, waiting for the arrival of a feast with their bloody mouths. There are lions on the river bank. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw a mother lion and two cubs waiting comfortably by the river. When wildebeests cross the river, they will drag one or two of them and have a big meal.

There are crocodiles in front and lions behind. The future is bright, but the road is tortuous. This is the beauty of nature, and this is the cruelty of nature.

On the Masai Mara grasslands, by the Mara River, wildebeests and zebras gather in groups. They give each other confidence and courage, and after gathering into a large group, they rush to the other side to be reborn. In a group, there are often more wildebeests, whose IQ is lower and they are more impulsive; there are fewer zebras, but their IQ is slightly higher. They often play a role of inhibition.

When the group gathers to a certain number, the IQ of the mob drops to the lowest level of the group, and social psychology plays a role in this group of animals. They will rush down the Mara River in groups regardless of danger, and then rush to the other side to complete Nirvana.

In addition to crocodiles, there are also a large number of hippos living in the Mara River. I regretted not seeing hippos up close in the swamps of Nakuru and Amberseli, but here I saw enough. Hippos have lazy postures, upturned nostrils, very poor eyesight and bad tempers.

They mainly eat aquatic plants and animals, and do not pose a threat to wildebeests. In the river, crocodiles are usually intimidated by the bad temper and strong physique of hippos. Although they live next to each other, the territorial division between them is still very clear.

Therefore, the clever zebras and wildebeests will choose to cross the river through the territory occupied by hippos, so that the probability of being preyed upon by crocodiles is lower. Of course, not all groups are so smart, and crocodiles will not starve to death.

According to the tour guide, he received a team from CCTV in July. They received funding from the Kenyan government, camped by the Mara River, and filmed for a long time.

But they didn’t actually capture the real wildebeest crossing the river, or the most intensive “big formation” because this year, due to weather conditions, the large number of wildebeest crossing the river was delayed by a month, appearing in August. During the “peak season” of crossing the river, a large number of wildebeest can gather in a group within ten minutes, and rush through the barrier in excitement.

It took about 2 hours for Nalanshiqi and Yunluo to plan to cross the river after the struggle between passion and reason. The peak season varies from year to year, but as long as tourists are willing to wait patiently on the shore, they will always have the opportunity to see wildebeest crossing the river.

In the morning, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo flew to their destination, Kenya, Africa. During the 4-hour flight, Yunluo sat by the window of the plane, looking at the scenery below, flying over the Persian Gulf, the Middle East desert, North Africa, and the East African savannah.

The scenery of the entire African continent is magnificent. There are no tall buildings. Beautiful desert and grassland scenery appear before the eyes of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

The plane landed and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were greeted by a very shabby van. Along the way to the Nairobi hotel, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo saw a shabby city, with irregular streets covered in dust and people coming and going in simple clothes, just as Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo felt in China 30 years ago.

The hotel where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stayed was located in the city center. The quiet atmosphere here made them feel like a resort. Outside the first-floor window of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo was a green grassy yard. It was quite pleasant to sit outside and drink tea. The chirping of the daigulls in the trees perfectly interpreted the harmony that should exist between man and nature.

Yunluo heard that robberies often happened on the streets, so he naturally stayed in the hotel obediently, waiting for Manager Tang of the travel agency who was to receive Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo to come and discuss the details of the trip with Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo.

At night, Nalan Shiqi, Yunluo and the other two went to the International Casino in Nairobi. Ayang and Langge were lucky and won nearly a thousand dollars. They happily went back to the hotel and fell asleep. Good luck, a good omen!

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo set out from Nairobi in the morning, riding in a modified off-road vehicle (the top can be opened to facilitate observation and photographing of animals). After a 4-hour journey, they saw the endless East African savannah along the way.

The low-hanging clouds and the vast grassland feel very similar to the Gannan grassland of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, but there are not many cattle and sheep here, and even if there are, they are only a few scattered around.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo arrived at the Amboseli National Reserve. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo checked into the hotel first. Wow! The hotel where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stayed was so romantic.

It looked like a romantic resort hotel, probably a 5-star one. Although Kenya looked very shabby to Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, this hotel was too luxurious. The rooms were very unique, with simple paintings of eagles, monkeys, lizards, etc. on the walls. It was simple and elegant, with great facilities and excellent service.

Entering the reserve, the hotel where Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stayed was hidden in the trees. It was very quiet, without any noise, only the calls of monkeys or other animals that Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo didn't know the names of. Yunluo felt like he had entered a primeval forest. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo just entered the room.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

There was an uninvited guest, a very cute little monkey rushed into the room, took away a bag of steamed bread slices very quickly, and gave Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo a warning. Looking at the little monkey, its face was black, and its eyes were white. It was very beautiful and interesting. Maybe they were used to guests visiting.

Knowing what was delicious, he took it and ate it himself. Well, from then on, Yunluo didn’t dare to leave the door open to watch the wind anymore.

In the evening, Yunluo left the restaurant after finishing his meal. Behind him, a group of night sika deer came running and roaring. Yunluo shone a strong flashlight on them, and the frightened deer turned back. Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo were also frightened.

Standing far away and observing, Yunluo used a high-intensity flashlight to scan and search. The field was full of pairs of bright green spots. Yunluo understood that they were the eyes of wild animals.

Yunluo felt fresh and exciting staying in a hotel with such an environment. Of course, Yunluo believed that the hotel facilities would not allow wild boars or other wild animals to visit guests' rooms, so she could sleep peacefully.

Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo stayed in this hotel for two days. They hardly saw any Chinese people. All the guests were Europeans, Americans and Indians. It seemed that this was a high-end hotel specially prepared for Europeans and Americans. The rooms were very comfortable.

Especially when Yunluo returned to the room at night, the draped mosquito net scattered romantic, charming and warm tones under the psychedelic lights, as if it was a romantic honeymoon hotel. Yunluo was almost drunk!

Yunluo had never used mosquito nets or gauze curtains. Sleeping alone in such a romantic hotel felt like a waste. Haha (When I woke up the next morning, I saw beautiful Russian women walking out of the rooms around me).

Take a comfortable bath, drink tea, play computer games, walk around naked, lie on a clean and comfortable bed, and completely enter the quiet atmosphere of a primeval forest. (To be continued...)
