मैं अकेला ही चला था जानिब-ए-मंज़िल मगर लोग साथ आते गए और कारवाँ बनता गया

In words of Jogi this how 13 wildlife lovers with one dream took a flight to Kenya in search of only madness and nothing else. We spent seven days to explore one of the best part world’s 2^nd largest continent that is Africa, the journey was planned so perfectly by Mumbai Travelers that we were getting rewards from nature on every moment. The journey started with Nature beauty (Rift Valley) followed by Naivasha lake and Masai Mara the world cup of wildlife (includes various parts of forest and Masai village), similar to the sequence of an event I will start with nature where I will update you on overall natural beauty we explored during the whole trip.

The real heaven

The place is nothing but the heaven, the valley, the lake, and huge grassland, the combination of a changing atmosphere, different light conditions, and the varied color of the sky were truly mesmerizing. We were hypnotize by the scenic beauty of the rift valley to start with and ended with unbelievable lovely forest. On one hand, the Rift Valley offered blue sky with green land and on another hand, the forest offered the ever-changing color of the sky because of competition between rain and sunlight creamed with a mix of green and golden grassland was top of the world. It is difficult to decide which part is more beautiful, your eyes and mind just stops at the place and restrict you from going back to the city life. This was superbly described by Chandana Mam see how beautifully concluded the whole trip in limited words. You just need to feel each word to understand the kind of heaven this place is, kind of experience and fun we had during the trip.

“Everything is so vividly in mind and eyes, miles of stretches of golden grasslands, sky with all possible hues of blue gold pink red, wind in my hair, being one with nature makes one feel closer to the supreme creator...I don't know whether I left part of my heart there or carried part of Mara within me”

Even while writing the blog I sleep off to wild world, it is difficult to control the words and emotion, else blog will never end hence I am restricting my self to write more but I promise to give you another angel (Naivasha Lake update) on next week.

Knowledge section – The Rift Valley

I know not all are aware of Rift Valley hence let me help you with some exciting details of this key place.

The Great Rift Valley is part of an intra-continental ridge system that runs through Kenya from north to south. It is part of the Gregory Rift, the eastern branch of the East African Rift, which starts in Tanzania to the south and continues northward into Ethiopia.

Africa’s Great Rift Valley is a 6,000-mile crack in the earth’s crust, and much of it is found in Kenya, where it has literally cut the country in two, the valley contains the Cherangani Hills and a chain of volcanoes, some of which are still active.
