There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.
Well I have stayed for more than 18 months in 3 countries of Africa in DRC, Nigeria and Ghana.
African people are helpful, caring & honest in general especially DRC & Ghana.
In 2012, I stopped in Kenya for two days and visited Nairobi national park.
Sharing those pics and few other pics that my brother had captured while he was in Kenya.
Few things I remember are:
1. I saw a lion on the morning patrol, didn't remember to capture him while he was on safari cab tracks, but captured him when he was in the bushes.
He was huge, lean and fit - by huge I mean in comparison to lions I have seen in orphanage, or in zoos.
Lions in orphanage and zoos were stocky & short.
(I not able to find the photograph of that lion, and will post once I find it and few others)
2. Giraffes, ostriches & antelopes were everywhere.
3. Zebra & buffaloes were surprisingly small for me, but African buffaloes are more muscular.
I know Indian domestic buffaloes & horses quite well.
Zebra is slightly bigger than a donkey.
Pics from the trip (I put watermark of JasMihir on all my pics):
