Lion king.....the movie that I had watched many many times since 1994...thanx to my brother and now my son,who are ardent fans of the movie and SIMBA!!!! When I see my husband and son replicate the fight scene between simba and scar,I have memories of witnessing the same scene involving my father and brother...so it was a natural decision to go visit the home of Simba.....that is KENYA.....
We booked a flight via Dubai,where my two sisters in law joined us with their families and off we went on our safari vacation...we were to land in Nairobi,leave the next day to Masai Mara,spend two days there and then stop for a day in Sulmac village before heading back to Nairobi to catch our flight back home....
After a long travel ,we finally landed in Nairobi...Nairobi ,the capital of Kenya was very much similar to any of our Indian cities..not a metro actually but a city I can say...Many Indians especially Gujaratis have setup flourishing businesses there...within few kilometers from the airport ,there was a national park with giraffes and zebras...we could see the giraffes from the road and how excited we were to spot them first...(by the second day it became a casual thing..giraffes and zebras were on the road side like cows in India!!!!)
On the way to our hotel,we had a giraffe feeding session..they gave each of us a packet of giraffe food,which was like small ragi balls..we have to stretch our hands and once the giraffes come closer with their mouth open,we have to place it in their tongue..eww..it was slimy at first but got used to it...
we had a relaxing dinner before hitting the bed ahead of a busy day...the next morning we had to leave early for our 6 hour trip to Masai Mara via road...
( to be contd)
