Chapter 1132 I like dimples
Nairobi, birds come from clouds! African lions and elephants, birds come from clouds! This is the first impression when you get off the plane. ≥ By the way, I changed some local currency at the airport - Kenyashilling, exchange rate: 1rmb=13.6ksh; 1usd=86ksh.
The second impression is that a person who doesn’t know whether it’s a policeman or a gangster often walks by with an AK-47. He just doesn’t dare to take photos. This is a photo of the guards I took secretly in the hotel at night. It’s noisy to take photos with high sensitivity. Let’s show this photo first to convey a real security threat.
And remind yourself at the back to not forget that there may be bullets hidden behind the beautiful scenery. So the most dangerous place in Kenya is in the city, and the safest place is to enter the reserve and stay with wild animals! This is not a joke, it is a real fact!
After a long time of struggle, I got on the bus and started. More than 90% of the cars I saw in Kenya were used cars made in Japan. Perhaps the traffic rules were both right-hand cars. It was because Japan bought all the old cars here, so it was very difficult to find a new car here. Let’s talk about the language - the official languages are Swahili and English.
Both are taught in schools. Another type of zingling is popular, which is a mixture of English, Swahili and Bantu. It was used by young people in cities, but now it is used by all classes. Most foreigners use it in English, and even indigenous people can communicate with you in English.
But Kenyans prefer their national language Swahili, so learning a few simple words will make them feel more intimate towards you. I am so happy all the way, just these few sentences: jam-hi, samahani-disturbing, ndiyo-yes, hapana-no, kwahe-day-goodbye.rafiki,--yunluo's friend, asante-thank you.
As soon as Nairobi Airport comes out, less than a kilometer, the roadside is covered with iron nets. Are you seeing it on the left side of the highway? The iron net is the animal reserve "Nairobi Animal Reserve", the world's city's closest animal reserve. It's right next to the airport and the city. The iron net is where wild beasts are appearing!
The zoos I saw in China were locked up and saw animals. When I arrived in Nairobi, the first feeling was that I used iron nets to surround people in the animal world, and in turn.
I crawled in the car with my camera and looked at it for a long time, but I didn't see any animal hair. I was a little disappointed. I asked and answered it, saying that it was a noisy on the roadside and the animals would not come. I reassured Yun Luo. In a few days, I went to Masaimala to hang out of the iron net. It is said that I could see it everywhere on the side of the car.
The beasts couldn't be seen in the woods on the iron net, but when I looked up, it was heaven! The vultures were flying all over the sky, and it was a bit scary to see them. It seemed that a beast caught the prey not far away and was eating meat. The birds in the sky were waiting for leftovers. I took a long-range photo and found that there were many other vultures flying.
I asked. This big bird is called a bald stork, and it also ate carrion. It turned out to be a cousin of vultures. Then I also listened to the story of this game not only eating carrion but also trash. I looked for food in the garbage dump in Nairobi every day. I didn’t expect that I was still an “environmental person” who knew how to use waste, a good bird!
I'm about to enter the city and have a photo. This highway was built by Chinese people. Moreover, many asphalt roads like this in many African countries are built by Chinese people. The roads in Kenya are driven on the left, so they are all cars driving on the right.
This is what I caught from the roadside from the airport to the city. One word: chaos! Two words: poverty! I don’t know that this place is not far from the world’s second largest giant slum, Kibera Slum (kibera).
I entered the city, but there were not many billboards. But the advertisement for this giant condom in front of me still made Yun Luo’s eyes lit up. It was the first time I saw such a big brand selling condoms!
However, it is estimated that in addition to business, it is more charitable. AIDS is rampant in Africa. However, due to the suffering of human cultural quality and economic conditions, many people do not use condoms to cause more and more promiscuousness, so such advertising is very necessary.
The Hindu temple on the roadside said that this time he had a different view of Ah San. In the Middle East and East Africa, Ah San has a considerable influence. I just said that 84% of the residents of Qatar are Indian immigrants or descendants. Unexpectedly, 65% of Kenya's economy is actually controlled by Indians.
When they went to many places, large supermarkets, hotels, banks, and Indians were mostly run by Indians. When they were colonized by British people, they were helped by the British to manage black people because they were loyal to the colonial masters. For example, most of the guards in the capital concession were Ah San. After the British were driven away, these helpers had inherited many of the master's inheritance, until now!
The driver first took the clouds to the most present place in the center of Nairobi, the Kenyatta International Convention Center. This is the only place along the way that looks close to modern society. The Kenyatta statue led the Kenyans to overthrow the British colonial rule.
The Kenyatta International Convention Center was built in 1967 and was put into use after its completion in the early 1970s. The entire building has 32 floors and covers an area of 410,000 square feet.
Check in: Safari Parkhotel. To be honest, after passing the big iron gate, I found that the conditions were better than Yunluo imagined. There is no such thing as Safari Parkhotel, it is simply a resort. However, this is also the only hotel that can have such a good environment today. When you start entering the reserve tomorrow, you will start to feel Safari Park.
In the Safari Parkhotel room, a group of photos taken in the hotel, the environment and conditions are quite good. But just outside the large iron gate guarded by the armed guards, there is poverty, chaos, and terrorist attacks. There are two kinds of worlds inside and outside the wall! Poor countries are like this for foreigners, and the same was true for China back then.
I still remember that when I was a child, there was a hotel in the provincial capital that was dedicated to the few foreigners in China at that time. At that time, the feeling of looking at the inside would never be able to enter might be the same as that of the African people outside the wall.
The hotel's barbecue meal at night was original. First, put a piece of red iron plate in front of you. All kinds of roasted meat were placed on top and then poured in various sauces to eat. Pigs, sheep, cows, camels, ostrichs. All kinds of meat, and there were indigenous performances to watch when eating meat. This treatment really has never been done in China. Is this in Africa? In the chaotic Nairobi?
Today, the target is nawasha. nawasha is a lake where many birds and hippos can be photographed. More importantly, there is an island in the middle, with only herbivores and no carnivores on the island. So there are few places where you can walk to the forest to find animals and move forward. This is an African baboon, and it is full of wild scattered in the middle of the road. There are many more monkeys in Mount Emei.
The wound of the earth - the Great Rift Valley in East Africa, let’s take a picture first. According to investigations and research by geologists, about 30 million years ago, due to strong crust fracture movement, the continental drift movement separated from the ancient Arab continent formed. It is the largest fault zone on the world’s continent.
When you fly over the vast Indian Ocean and enter the equator of the East African continent, you look down from the window and see a huge "knife mark" on the ground appearing on the eye.
When I arrived at the countryclubhotel, I lived in the past. The ones I had lived in were on the lake. From time to time, animals would walk to the door of the room in the garden.
CountryC reveals the interior of the bhotel. By the way, after lunch, a long-tied deer walked to Yun Luo's head and gnawed on the leaves. At night, two hippos walked to less than fifty meters away from the room and hid quickly. This guy was aggressive.
The cars at the door are all made for Safa daily, all of which are two spare tires. The road conditions in the wild in Africa are extremely poor, so tire blowouts are common, and only two spare tires are reliable.
The word safa day will be repeatedly mentioned later. The original meaning refers to a hunting or safari travel. However, if you cannot hunt at present, it specifically refers to the way of chasing animals in the reserve. In fact, only one pursuit cannot fully express the meaning. Only by experiencing this feeling personally can you know the full meaning of the exclusive word safa day.
There are hippos and crocodiles in this dark lake. I heard that there were hippos attacking the ship. So I drove the ship very carefully and drove slowly, so I was afraid that I would not pay attention to rushing too close to the underwater hippo. The safe distance was 50 meters short.
This is a captured bird that is hanging in the air to rush into the water to catch fish. A huge killer appeared, and the giant hippo often dived into the bottom of the water, and from time to time the water exposed its eyes. This is the real reason for the danger - you don't know where it will suddenly appear.
In the water about forty meters away from the ship, a group of killing weapons looked at Yun Luo and Nalan Shuqi's ship. It was horrible.
This photo shows that it is dangerous. In fact, this male weighs at least 2.5 tons, which is almost two cars. Hippos seem honest and honest, but they are irritable and fierce, and have a strong sense of territory. If someone breaks into their territory, they will attack people with 0.4 meters of fangs. They can bite people to death by opening their mouths.
Hippos are the largest mouth on land, and adult hippos have a bite force of more than 1 ton. They are the terrestrial mammals with the largest bite force in existence.
This is when I went to the island to hike and look for wild animals. I heard that there are no beasts, but I am still a little worried when I walk. After all, even herbivores are wild animals. The first thing I discovered is a giraffe.
There are so many animals, and there are no beasts here, which is a paradise for them. Most of the trees in the forest are acacia, and the trunks are named after them, and they are beautiful. They are both beautiful as the flat-top acacia seen on the grassland behind them.
