NB! This is a fictional blog. I have not been to Kenya, and everything I write are based on facts I have read. The pictures are also not mine, but borrowed from the internet. (source under every picture) I also have a list of sources I have used at the bottom of this entry.

Hi there!
Right
now I am relaxing in my own personal tent here in Masai Mara.
It is great here!
This
is where I live at the moment. Quite a paradise right? There are
luxury-tents like these everywhere in the camp.There are tents in all
sizes. Huge tents where you could probably fit several families into,
but there are also one-man tents like the one I had.
First
I will share some basic facts with you: Masai Mara is located in
southwest Kenya and is known Africa´s greatest wildlife reserve. (I
believe that statement). Masai Mara was first founded in 1948 and
today it covers an area of over 1500 square kilometres. It is also, like
Nairobi, located around a few thousand meters over the sea. This
means that the temperature is not unbearable here either. The Masai
Mara reserve has over 95 species of mammals. Lions, cheetahs,
elephants, zebras, rhinos, giraffes, hyenas, antelopes and much, much
more.
I
will live here for three days all together. I feel like I could live
there for the rest of my life. I have been out in the open every day
with a guide who has driven me (and some other tourists) around in a
jeep. I have seen so many beautiful animals. Everything out here is
just so completely untouched and beautiful. I have taken a lot of
pictures, but I felt that I kind of had to hold myself back a little
so that I did not just look in the lens, but watched them in real
life.. Here are two more of my pictures:
At
Masai Mara, they also offered this airballoon-ride in the morning and
well, I just had to use this opportunity. For one and a half hour I was
flooding over the camp watching the animals and clearing my head of
all my thoughts.
This
is a picture I took of two other balloons just before I got on
mine. Beautiful.
Now
I have to get packing (again, ahh). I am spending my last few days in
the coast in what I heard is a very beautiful place, Mombasa.
