  Sunrise (Masai Mara)
by Myndo
 
 

At least once you should get up early enough to see a sunrise out in the wild.
Whether it is inTsavo, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli or else, a sunrise in Africa is a thing you will remember forever.


Get up while it is still dark and cold. Dress warmly and drive out into the wild.
Look for a good spot and see the light and colors coming into the landscape, finally erupting with the appearance of the sun.
I always wondered at how fast the sun gets up. Long time not much, just gradually changing colors, from pastell rose, pink, violett and then suddenly : there she is, a bright orange-yellow ball.

Another good thing is that there are more animals out. Lions are hunting then and the light is perfect for taking pictures, because the light is not so flat as when the sun is high.

Review Helpfulness: 4.5 out of 5 stars
