Wielka migracja - Great migration

Kazdego roku w porze suchej, stada antylop lacza sie ze soba i wspolnie przemierzaja olbrzymie odleglosci w poszukiwaniu jedzenia. Stada te potrafia liczyc ponad milion osobnikow! Podczas naszego pobytu w Kenii, wyjatkowo dluga i dokuczliwa pora sucha miala sie ku koncowi. Na wlasne oczy widzielismy jak z dnia na dzien na terenie parku Masai Mara pojawily sie tysiace osobnikow antylopy gnu. Ponizsze filmy zostaly nakrecone na stanowisku widokowym znajdujacym sie na terenie lodzy Keekorok.

Every year during the dry season, herds of antelopes are getting together to travel long distances in order to find food. These herds can count up to over a million members! During our stay in Kenya, unusually long and tough dry season was coming to an end. We have witnessed thousands of Wildebeests appearing in the Masai Mara National Park within one day. The movies below were made from the observation station at the Keekorok lodge.

Lodza w parku Jeziora Nakuru - The Lake Nakuru Lodge

Drugim z odwiedzonych przez nas parkow byl rezerwat nad jeziorem Nakuru. Lodza, w ktorej sie zatrzymalismy znajdowala sie w samym sercu parku, na wzniesieniu dajacym nam widok na prawie caly jego teren. Przez plot bez zadnych problemow przechodzily pawiany, po scianach naszych pokoi wspinaly sie gekony, a czasem i pajaki ptaszniki. I tylko plot odgradzal nas od pozostalych zyjacych tam dzikich zwierzat.

The second visited by us parks was the Lake Nakuru National Park. Lodge in which we stayed in was placed on the hill right in the middle of the park, giving us a view on the almost all of its terrain. Baboons did not have any problems with getting over the fence, geckos were climbing on the walls of our room and so were occasionally tarantulas. And it was only a fence that was separating us from the rest of wild animals living there.

Ptaki - Birds

Z ptakami spotykalismy sie na kazdym kroku – z wczesniej juz opisanymi flamingami i bakojadami oraz sepami, perlicami, bocianami, strusiami, dziborogami, gesiami egipskimi i wiloma innymi. Jak zwykle, to co dla nas bylo egzotycznym zwierzecem, tam bylo zwyklym ptakiem, takim jak u nas wrobel czy kruk.

We have come across the birds wherever we travelled to – previously mentioned flamingos and ox peckers along with vultures, guinea fowls, marabou storks, ostriches, ground hornbills, Egyptian gooses and many others. As usually, the ones which were exotic to us, for the people living there would be just like a sparrow or black bird to us.
