Nairobi, the clouds fall and the birds come! African lions, elephants, birds falling from the clouds! This is the first impression of getting off the plane. Pen&Fun&Pavilion www.biquge.info≥ by the way, I exchanged some local currency at the airport - Kenyan shilling, exchange rate: 1rmb = 13. 6ksh; 1usd=86ksh。
And the second impression is that I often walk by with an AK-47 by a person who doesn't know whether it is a police officer or a bandit. I just didn't dare to take pictures, this is a photo of a guard secretly taken in the hotel at night, and it was made noisy with high sensitivity. The first show of this photo is to convey a real security threat.
And remind yourself at all times that there may be bullets hidden behind the view. So the most dangerous place in Kenya is in the city, and the safest place is to go into the reserve and stay with the wildlife! This is not a joke, it is a real fact!
After tossing for a long time, I got into the car smoothly and drove it, and more than 90% of the cars I saw in Kenya were second-hand cars made in Japan. Probably because the traffic regulations are the same right-hand drive, it is very difficult to find a new car here. Let's talk about the language - the official languages are Kiswahili and English.
Both are taught in schools. Another popular language is a mixture of English, Kiswahili and Bantu, which was once spoken by young people in the city and is now spoken by all classes. Most foreigners come in English, and even natives can basically communicate with you in English.
But Kenyans prefer their national language, Swahili, so learning a few simple words to say will make them feel more dear to you, and I've been on the road all the way, just a few words: jambo - hello, samahani - excuse me, ndiyo - yes, hapana - no, kwahe day - goodbye. Rafiki ,-- Yunluo's friend, Asante - thank you.
As soon as the Nairobi airport came out, less than a kilometer, the side of the road was covered with iron mesh, and the left side of the road was all visible. On the other side of the fence is the Nairobi Animal Sanctuary, the world's closest animal sanctuary in a city. It's right next to the airport and the city. On the other side of the bar, wild beasts are infested!
The zoo I saw in the country was to lock up the animals and watch them, and when I arrived in Nairobi, the first feeling was that people were surrounded by iron nets in the animal world, and the other way around.
I climbed into the car with a camera and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see a single animal hair. A little bit of a disappointment. I asked the ground pick-up, and said that it was a noisy basic animal on the side of the highway and would not come. Let Yunluo rest assured, in a few days to Masai Mara is to go outside the iron net to mix, it is said that you can see everywhere by the side of the car.
The beast could not be seen in the woods on the other side of the iron fence, but when you looked up, oh my! The sky is full of vultures flying, and it's a little scary to see. It seems that a beast of prey has caught its prey not far away and is eating meat, and the birds in the sky are waiting to eat leftovers. I captured two of them with a telephoto, and I found that there were still a lot of vultures flying.
Asked. This big bird is called a vulture, and it also eats carrion, and it turns out to be a vulture. Then I listened to the lecture that this game not only eats carrion but also garbage, and looks for food in the garbage dump in Nairobi every day. I can't imagine that I am still an "environmentalist" who knows waste utilization, good bird!
I'm going to enter the city immediately, let's get one, this highway was built by our Chinese people. Moreover, in many countries in Africa, such asphalt roads were built by Chinese. Kenya's roads drive on the left, so they are all right-hand cars.
This is caught on the side of the road from the airport to the city. One word: chaos! Two words: poverty! I don't know how far from the world's second-largest giant slum, Kibera.
I entered the city, and there were not many billboards. But the giant condom advertisement in front of him still made Yun Luo's eyes light up. It's the first time I've seen such a big brand selling condoms when I'm so big!
However, it is estimated that in addition to business, it is more of a public welfare placement. AIDS is rampant in Africa. However, due to people's cultural quality and economic conditions, many people do not use the trap, resulting in more and more abuse, so this kind of advertising is very necessary.
The Hindu temple on the side of the road said that this time he had a different view of Ah San. In the Middle East and East Africa and North Africa, Ah San's influence is considerable. As I mentioned, 84 per cent of Qatar's inhabitants are Indian immigrants or descendants. Unexpectedly, 65% of Kenya's economy is also in the hands of Indians.
Walking to a lot of places, big supermarket, hotel, bank. Most of them are Indians who run the business. When they were colonized by the British, they were the helpers brought by the British to manage the blacks, because they were loyal to the colonial masters, just like most of the guards in the Beijing Concession were Asan men. After the British were driven away. These helpers have inherited a lot of their master's inheritance, until now!
The driver first took Yunluo to the most modern place in the center of Nairobi, the Kenyatta International Conference Center. This is the only place along the way that looks close to the feeling of modern society. The statue of Kenyatta who led the Kenyans to overthrow British colonial rule.
The Kenyatta International Conference Center was built in 1967 and put into use in the early 70s of the last century. The entire building has 32 floors and covers an area of 410,000 square feet.
Check in to the hotel: SAFA Day Parkhotel. Let's be honest. After the big iron gate came in, I found that this condition was really better than Yunluo imagined, where is the SAFA day hotel, it is simply a resort. But this is also the only hotel that can have such a good environment on the day, and tomorrow we will start to enter the reserve, and we will start to feel like a real SAFA day.
Safa day in the room of the parkhotel. A set of photos taken in the hotel, the environment and conditions are quite impressive. But just outside the big iron gate guarded by armed guards, there is poverty, chaos, and terrorist attacks. Poor countries are like this to foreigners, and it was the same when China was poor.
I still remember that when I was a child, there was a hotel in the provincial capital, which was dedicated to living in very few foreigners in China at that time. At that time, the feeling of never being able to enter the inside was probably the same as that of the African people outside the wall.
In the evening, the hotel's barbecue feast is authentic, and a red-hot iron plate is placed in front of it. All kinds of grilled meat are put on top and then poured with various sauces to eat. Pigs, sheep, cows, camels, ostriches. There are all kinds of meat, and there are also indigenous performances to watch when eating meat. This treatment really hasn't been done in China, is this in Africa? In the chaos of Nairobi?
Today's target is Nawasha, which is a lake with lots of birds and hippos to shoot, and more importantly it has an island in the middle of it, where there are only herbivores and no carnivores. Therefore, it is one of the few places where you can walk to the forest on your own to find animals and move forward. This is an African baboon, and it is everywhere running rampant in the middle of the road. There are many more monkeys than Mount Emei
The wound of the earth - the Great Rift Valley, let's start with one. According to geologists, about 30 million years ago, the rift was formed by a continental drift that separated it from the Arabian paleocontinent due to a strong crustal fracture movement. It is the largest fault zone on the world continent.
When the plane crossed the Indian Ocean and entered the equator of the East African continent, looking down from the window, there was a huge "knife mark" on the ground.
To the country to live today dew bhotel. The ** who came to live back then was on the edge of the lake. From time to time, animals will come to the door of the room in the garden.
By the way, at dinner in the afternoon, a long-shined deer walked to the top of Yunluo's head to gnaw leaves, and at night found two hippos walking to less than fifty meters from the room, so hurry up and hide. This guy is aggressive.
The cars at the door are all dedicated to SAFA days, and all of them are two spare tires. The road conditions in the African wilderness are extremely poor, so punctures are a frequent occurrence, and two spare tires can be relied on.
The term safa day is mentioned again and again, and the original meaning refers to a safari or safari trip. However, at present, it is not possible to hunt and refer to the way of traveling in the reserve to hunt for animals, in fact, only one pursuit cannot fully express the meaning, and only those who have experienced this feeling will know the full meaning of the term SAFA day.
This black oppressive lake contains hippos and crocodiles. I heard that there was a hippopotamus attacking the boat. Therefore, the boat is very careful, driving slowly, for fear of not paying attention to rushing too close to the underwater hippopotamus. The safety distance is less than 50 meters.
This is a capture of a bird suspended in the air, ready to rush into the water to catch fish. The big killer appeared, and the giant hippopotamus often went to the bottom of the water, and from time to time it came out of the water with its eyes exposed. That's the real reason for the danger – you don't know where it's going to pop up.
In the water about forty meters away from the boat, a group of big killers watched Yunluo and Nalan Shiqi's boat. Terror.
This photo doesn't show its danger, in fact, this male has a few 2. It weighs 5 tons, which is almost two cars. Hippos seem to be honest and honest, but they have a violent and fierce temperament, and they are very territorial, and they will use 0 when someone intrudes into their territory. The 4-meter fangs attack people, and they can bite people to death with just one bite when they open their mouths.
Hippos are the largest mouthed animals on land, with an adult hippopotamus biting force of more than 1 ton. It is the land mammal with the largest bite force in existence.
It's time to get up to the island and start trekking in search of wildlife. I've heard that there are no beasts, but it's still a little scary to walk, after all, even herbivores are wild beasts. Giraffes are spotted first.
There are so many animals, and there are no beasts here, and this is really a paradise island for them. Most of the trees in the forest are acacias, and the trunks are so named after the golden trunks that they grow beautifully. It is beautiful with the flat-topped acacia seen in the grassland behind.
Wildebeest only eats young grass. The zebra eats the same grass as it, but waits until the grass is a little older. (To be continued.)
