This are pictures from Kimana but could been taken in any of Safari parks with same spectacular look. The sunrising in savannah can make poets out of us or, as happened to me, I just couldn't say a word watching it. The same goes for sunsets, this were definetely breath-taking moments. They say; "picture tells a thousands of words" and I couldn't agree more than that.

A new day in savannah, another day with lots of expectations for its flora and fauna. Here, in this place, we know the exact meaning of struggling for the life. Some of the species are hunters, much more of them are just hauls. Who is gonna win this game? The nature itself, of course.

The pictures we make are like our babies and we love them all. I have huge capacities in my memory cards and have made more than 2000 pictures in Kenya alone. Still, there are pictures we like a bit more than the other ones. However, it is not easy to make a right choice. Hope you like this one.

It is hard to say which part of the day in savannah looks more spectacular, the sunrising or the sunset, but definetely the both are just fascinating. One thing is for sure, being here and missing one of them or maybe both would be a great shame. The only thing that crossed my mind was to keep these scenes in my memory as long as possible.

Here you can see the pictures, taken one after another, with camera aimed directly to the sun and the landscapes under the reflective light of the sun while going down. The colours are spectacular because, all the sudden, the sky becaming coloured in broiling yellow-gold colour. On the other side, the forrest becoming mixture of enriched natural colours and everything looks breath-taking.

Kenyian kids are just beautiful and I couldn't resist taking a lots of pictures. Before taking pictures, out on the streets, ask first because some parents wont allow it. However, most of them will agree and if possible print your pictures and give or send it to them.
Hope that nobody here will abuse this pictures for other purpose.

Things To Do: Watch the animals

Most of these animals I have already seen before, but in the Zoo only where they share limited space and ambient wich is far of being their natural enviroment. Some people say, the safari park is nothing but huge zoo and the only difference is, it is situated in Africa. I could share a small part of such an opinion because the fact is, we pay ticket to watch the animals and they are kept closed in fenced area.
Thanks to our fellow member SanguiniA who help me to find out the name of the lovely bird on my picture nr. 3, it is Grey Crowned Crane known also as the national bird of Uganda.

Things To Do: Watch the animals

The truth is, these safari parks occupied huge area which barely can be considerate the zoo's. The animals are free to go wherever they want and, as I could see it, they move from one to other place inside the park. Besides, Africa is their natural enviroment.
Since I am an animal lover, I was trully impressed and fascinated by watching all these animals in their every day activities. The most fascinating moment I've seen happened very early in the morning when group of antelopes start to run across the savannah. It was amazing scene because, from time to time and all the sudden, they jumped high in the air in order to change direction. I tried to snaped them, but the light was poor and they were so quick. When I checked the pictures it was nothing to see.

Things To Do: Malindi

Malindi Beach, or just Malindi, can be called "Piccola Italia" because more than 4000 Italians live here. As a metter of fact, most of the restaurants and bars are held by Italians and here you can enjoy in traditional italian cuisine and excellent seafood.
I made a day trip here, visiting nearby historic sight of Gedi and the beach resort famous for its underwater world. Haven't seen much of the town, only the small part of it situated on the seashore where we had lunch in one Italian restaurant.
The Malindi beach resort looks good, it is several kilometres long sandy beach wth the characteristic white coloured sand. The water is much deeper here than the water in Shanzu or Bamburi beach but still, it is shallow.

Things To Do: Diani Beach

Diani Beach is located about 30km south of Mombasa and is known as an residential area where many whites own the houses. It is considered as one of the most beautiful beach resort in whole of Kenya, in particularly for its white coloured sand. Diani Beach is windiness area, most favourable for sailling and windsurfing.
Unfortunatelly, it was cloudy day during my visiting and the colour of the sand isn't that spectacular on my pictures as it is in a real life. There is huge difference here between high and low tide, almost hundred of meters, and it makes this beach in particularly attractive.
