I can’t remember when, but ever since I first came across the documentary that featured the rich wilderness of Africa. I told myself one day, I want to visit this place and see it with my own eyes. Watching the movie Born free further fueled my desire to wanted to visit this wonderful place on earth.
Thanks to my friend
Ling, I finally get to visit this wonderful place in October 2018. We started our preparation way back in February, and all the trouble is worth it.
There is no direct flight from Singapore to Kenya and we have our transit in Bangkok, Thailand. After crossing the Indian Ocean, we finally arrived at Kenya! My very first visit to Africa continent.
It was a dream come true for me to set foot on this continent!
As soon as I am out of airport, I was greeted by this Superb starling! What a great way to start my trip.
Yes. I want to see the huge African elephants! So far I have seen the pygmy elephants of Borneo, elephants of Thailand and never seen a African elephant yet.
Once we are out of the city of Nairobi, I have a first glimpse of the African savanna.
The place that we are going, Masai Mara, sits right in the middle of the Great Rift Valley.
Will Africa be split into 2? There are lots of debates going on and my take is it will happen one day. Not if, but when. Our earth is moving and changing everyday just that it happen so slow that we didn't notice it...
Just a few months ago, a
mysterious crack happens in Kenya. Not sure if it is related but it just add to the ongoing debates of the Africa splitting into 2 theories...

We stay in Talek for one night, a small village on the outside of the Masai Mara entrance. Feeling excited, I woke up at 3am and took this photo of the African night sky with the 4WD that we will be using to explore Masai Mara for the next few days.
The gate is not even open when we arrive. Can't wait to get into Masai Mara.... to be continued
