Africa...

Never Been to one but have heard from friends that it is wonderful . Yeah . The African Safari - the ultimate destination for honeymooners , photographers and wild life enthusiasts . It has something for all .One such safari is the Masai Mara Reserve of Kenya .The gentle rolling grasslands ensure the animals are never out of sight . Such is the density , that in a radius of five miles , you can see congregation of all sorts of anilmals and their antics - elephants drinking and splashing water , herds of zebras , giraffes and buffaloes , pride of lions positioning for hunting a gazalle , alligators waiting for their and even the birdlife is also prolific . Live Discovery Channel.

But the best of all is the "The wild beast migration". The sensation is unparalleled . Ten million or even more cattle migrate from the Serengeti in the south to the Masai expanse in september every year .


Driving in the midst of these great herds is an unimaginable experience. Whilst the eyes feast on the spectacle, the air carries the smells, the dust and the sounds of hundreds of thousands of animals. There is nowhere else on earth to compare with this wildlife marvel. But the trek is costly. The herds' draw ravening packs of predators, especially hyenas and lions, and thousands of the lame, laggard and sick never complete the cycle.
More die, by drowning or by the teeth of the cunning crocodile, while trying to cross the swirling muddy waters of the Mara river.
A well worth it and recommended activity in the Masai Mara National Reserve is the balloon safari. Early in the morning, you will be woken and driven to the departure site. Once in the air, the view of the surrounding landscape, the rising of the sun between the mountains and the congregation of the animals at the river is beautiful.

Cant wait to realise the experience live !
