The climax of Kenya tour was the visit to Maasai Mara National Reserve, where our Safari began.
The game park is a very big area stretching across the border of Tanzania where it is called Serengeti National Park.
It was about 250 kms from Nairobi but took us more than 5 hrs to reach there. More than half of the journey ( about 130 kms) was bumpy and wavy dirt road filled with potholes and loose stones.
Vehicle and man were put to extreme physical and endurance test. Thank God both survived the return journey of more than 500 kms of grilling ride.
Masai Mara Reserve is world renowned game park, where thousands of wild animals roam free. We were able to see many animals in close range.
At the vast grassland, we witnessed the gathering of about 400,000(my estimation) of Wildebeest and Zebras in preparation for the so called Great Migration (crossing of Mara River).
It was a precious and unforgettable experience of a lifetime.

我们肯亚之旅的高峰，就是到马赛玛拉国家公园观赏野生动物。这个公园非常的大，伸延到邻国坦桑尼亚，名为所沙仁吉迪国家公园。
它离开首都奈罗比大约250公里，但需要费时五个小时方能抵达目的地。这段路程，超过一半，大约130公里，是非常颠簸、满布波浪及窟窿的石土路，泥尘飞扬，把人与车的体能及忍耐都推到极点。庆幸我们都顺利的完成了这个来回五百公里的旅程。
马赛玛拉国家公园是世界闻名的野生动物观赏景点，游客可以在近距离的看到成千上万的各类野生动物，在自然的环境中，悠游的生活。
在广阔的草原里，我们见到大约四十万只的角牛及斑马（依我估计），集合在一起，准备在适当的时候，会同上百万的同类，进行著名的“大迁徙”，度过玛拉河。
这是一个毕生难得、难忘的体验。
