Masai Mara 2018/19-En

This time we spent the turn of the year from 2018 to 2019 in Africa. We stayed 9 nights in the Masai Mara. There were no wilde­beests there at this time of year, they were in the Serengeti as part of the migra­tion. But we could observe plen­ty of oth­er ani­mals, espe­cial­ly cats. A selec­tion of the best pic­tures I show here in the gallery. A detailed report about the trip can be found here.

Serval

Like every time we had a spe­cial expe­ri­ence on the last day of our trip: Before sun­rise we dis­cov­ered a serval.

Giraffes

We have at times dis­cov­ered giraffes in very large groups. They are majes­tic ani­mals that stride ele­gant­ly through the steppe.

Elefants

Watch­ing ele­phants in the wild is always a great experience.

Landscape

I love the end­less wide­ness of the Masai Mara. Every sun­rise and sun­set is always an incred­i­ble spectacle.

Accomodation

We were now for the fourth time in the Mara Bush Camp - Pri­vate Wing. Again it was an unfor­get­table expe­ri­ence. The ser­vice was first class, the com­fort of the tents increased even more, now the tents even have a mini bar. And all that in the mid­dle of the wilderness!

Balloon launch

Very pop­u­lar in the Masai Mara are morn­ing bal­loon flights. Up to 7 bal­loons could be seen in the air at the same time dur­ing the morning.
