From Nairobi, I went for three days
to Masai Mara.
At the moment, there is the

big migration going on. About one
million zebras and wildebeest decide at the same time to cross from Serengeti
into Masai Mara. All this involves a crossing of Mara River. It is a
photographers dream to be there exactly in time to see the crossing. Probably,
one or the other of you knows all that from TV, when thousands and thousands of
animals push the precipitous slope down in the river, swim through and climb on
the other side again up. Many are got by crocodiles others break the legs with
the precipitous rise or descent. But we are talking here about wild animals and
not something happening in a zoo.

Unfortunately, I have not experienced the river crossing,
but it was simply great so see, how many animals were there already. Huge herds
zebras and wildebeest, the lions already lazy, because of so much food.
Nevertheless, we have seen a hunting attempt, also lions
feeding on a wildebeest.Ofcourse, there are also many giraffes, all sorts of
antelopes, buffaloes, a leopard, elephants and warthogs... We spent the nights
some kilometers outside the park on a campground in set up safari tents.
