The life changing experience that a journey presented, starting point Nairobi to Rift Valley through the beautiful plain of the Masai Mara in Kenya. Eyes and mind are looking to capture and experience, enjoyable moments of an African Safari. The day we reached the airport greeted by our tour guide cum driver in Swahili local language 'Jambo' common phrase used for greeting you. For the following few days, use of word Jambo excited me as though a magical word to associate with local people.
We took several trips and continued to the foothill of an extinct volcano Mount named Suswa near Rift Valley. Love and passion for nature and wildlife made me feel Kenya like a wonderland. (Nature as natural with slight development in conditions of concrete structures). We rode via the great north road that leads to Viewing point in the Rift Valley, view from the top gave us the mesmerizing beauty of nature. I waited to view the valley to catch the bits through my camera lens. I was experiencing the same excitement and feelings I had one in the Louvre museum Paris, keen to get a look at the famed painting of Mona Lisa. My mind said "Asante" (Thank you) in Swahili (few new words which I learned the first day of my trip) to nature's artist (GOD) and moved on.
Traveling the plain of Maasai Mara, we saw many colorful birds like Gerard Closset, Lilac Breasted roller, Mara Timbo Camp and watched big five animals in their natural appetite. Watching Zebra, wildebeest migrates across the Serengeti as part of the great migration. It was a picture perfect moment, stories telling experience for me of the animal kingdom and their instinct to live. (Many surprises were waiting for animals while crossing the river likewise in our lives.).
The evening began with a campfire and dances by local tribe Maasai men and adult females. My first-lifetime close interaction with tribal people happened. We partied through the night and danced in the traditional tribal style.
