The premise of this article is that you take pictures or see animals as the first premise! You don't need to read this article for check-ins, vacations, etc.! The pictures were taken by myself [smile] This article is only written by an old Kenyan who saw countless newcomers fall into the pit
🦒Misunderstanding:
[Cute] The more places to go, the better [croak]
If your first purpose is to photograph or see animals, and you want to maximize your chances of capturing animal behavior (hunting, fighting, warmth, breastfeeding, etc.).
🐘 Instead of just seeing lions, cheetahs, and elephants recorded simple purposes
Well, you should smash the horse Saimala!
🦁️ In Kenya, you are in any protected area to look for a variety of animals, and the Masai Mara has the most animals, and almost all the common animals can be seen except for the rhinoceros.
🐆 In other words, you gamble on your luck in the Masai Mara and have a much higher chance of seeing and photographing great images than in other protected areas
❕ Remember, you're not looking to see the scenery in Kenya, you're looking to see amazing animal images
Why 99% of Kenya's travel and photography routes go to a few protected areas?
It's simple, because the cost is low [croak]
Kenya's infrastructure roads are poor, and it takes half a day or even a day to change the protected area every day! Plus admission to other protected areas is cheap
🐊 World-famous sanctuaries like the Masai Mara are $80 per person per day! Recently heard that the Narock state government has a new policy of $80 for 12 hours (not sure)
🦬 The hotels in the Masai Mara Park are also the most expensive! Low season normal 3 star hotels 200/day per person, high season 400/day per person (USD)
Therefore, wasting time on the road and going to low-cost protected areas will reduce the cost a lot
4. I can drive myself, or find a local driver myself
I have heard countless times from other students that they have also been to Kenya, but they have not encountered such wonderful pictures as me, and I am unlucky
Most people attribute it to luck that I find a pack 🦁️ of lions and photograph wonderful animal behavior every time
Admittedly, luck does play a big role!
However, how to find the experience of the animal, after finding it, command the driver to occupy a favorable shooting position in advance, and predict the animal's next behavior, the experience of on-site shooting is also essential
🦁️ If you don't have reliable information, what are the chances of driving aimlessly or finding a random driver to look for it?
Priced in US dollars, 9 nights as an example, excluding airfare! Trips that mainly focus on seeing and photographing animals (not bird shooting or other special) are less than $4,000
I advise you to think carefully [cute]
Unless, you just want to come to Kenya to punch a card
Which pits are 🈶️ here, I know too well! To give just one example, whether you live in the Masai Mara Park or outside the park, the actual experience or shooting effect is very different! And which specific direction you live in the park, the difference is also huge
Write this first, and then see the mood in writing
Or do I have a video dedicated to why not go to Tanzania? Choose Kenya 🇰🇪 and more pits for more experience
