Masai Mara Reserve — Amazing Forest
Nk Tripathi
I and Laxmi explored a life long dream, Masai Mara forest for two days from morning till evening. These were the most thrilling moments of the excitement and photography. Masai Mara in Africa is one of the best forest reserves of the world. Masai Mara is a large national wildlife reserve in Kenya and contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Masai
Is the name of the tribe of the area, and Mara is the name of the place.
The total area under conservation in the Greater Maasai Mara ecosystem amounts to 1,500 sq km. The terrain of the reserve is primarily open grassland with seasonal riverlets. In some places I saw acacia tree. Shrubs and trees run along the rain drainage or cover the hills. This forest is totally different from our Indian forests. Trees were very scarce and small.
I took pictures of flora and fauna. Apart from big animals, I took the pictures of some unique birds, vegetation, zebra and wild beast ready for migration to Tanzania. I could also capture the picture of the setting sun. Some of the pictures I will share in time to come. Here you can see rhinos, hippos, lioness, elephant, cheetah, zebra, giraffe and wild buffalo, which I captured.
Life’s path for me is edifying.
