Africa has left me with unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime

You must go to Africa to see the animals if you have the chance! The 7 days of safari in Kenya were like a dream, and I have selected 10 shining moments to share my joy with you. 🟡1 Wildebeest crossing the river Who would have thought that we would catch the long-delayed wildebeest crossing the river in mid-September? Thousands of wildebeest that had just successfully crossed the river surrounded us, more shocking than the scenes in documentaries. 🟡2 Unparalleled breakfast view We saw the wildebeest crossing the river twice in two days, the second time on a larger scale, and it was right in front of us eating breakfast at the hotel. Words can't describe such luck and my excitement at the time, I have shared the specific experience in the notes a few days ago. 🟡3 Cheetah hunting In the case of limited time, waiting 6 hours for a hunt is actually very luxurious. But I am very glad we made this choice, it was very worth it. 🟡4 Elephants crossing the road In Amboseli, I took the photo of my dreams - a group of elephants crossing the road in a line against the backdrop of Kilimanjaro, more dreamy than a postcard. 🟡5 Lion roaring On our last game drive in Amboseli, we came across a male lion roaring as we left the park. We could even clearly see its belly writhing as it roared, the guide said this is a very rare scene. 🟡6 Elephant suddenly appearing two meters away Not long after our car left the hotel in Amboseli, we suddenly encountered two elephants eating grass by the road, only about two meters away from me in a straight line, I felt I could touch its raised nose if I reached out (of course I couldn't). 🟡7 Picnic in Tanzania The Masai Mara in Kenya and the Serengeti in Tanzania are the same grassland, our guide drove directly over the monument at the Kenya-Tanzania border in the heart of the grassland, let us picnic under a beautiful tree in Tanzania, giving us a rare sense of ceremony during the hard hunting. 🟡8 Elephants and sunset One evening in Amboseli, we saw a group of elephants enjoying dinner in the rose-colored sunset. Everything around was silent, the scene was incredibly peaceful and beautiful. 🟡9 Eye contact with a giraffe A giraffe curiously stopped as it passed our car, its innocent, moist eyes met mine, its lips were red, it was extremely cute. 🟡10 Morning moon and sunrise We got up at 5:30 in the morning to start the day's game, and what greeted us was the bright waning moon on the Masai Mara grassland. We drove towards the sunrise, watching the horizon gradually dyed red by the morning glow, I couldn't help but hear the bgm of 'The Lion King' in my head.
