点评:On our East Africa Safari, this was the first and my overall favorite. (We also visited Maasai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Amboseli.) Everyone had told us to not expect to all of the "big 5" on our safari. And we ended up seeing 4 of the 5 on our first day of actually being on safari in Lake Nakuru. And we saw many more animals as well. The variety of wildlife there was incredible! The only one of the big 5 we didn't see here were elephants. But we saw several kinds of antelope, lions, (no tigers or bears), white rhinos, cape buffalo and a leopard eating a Thompson's Gazelle. That one was a challenge. We sat staring at some deep groundcover around the base of a tree for quite some time before we finally got a glimpse of it. (We knew there was something there due to all the other safari vehicles sitting there.) But since the leopard is nocturnal and is the one of the big 5 least likely to be seen, we felt fortunate.
Lake Nakuru doesn't have the name recognition as Serengeti and even Maasai Mara, but I wouldn't have missed it for anything!
翻译:在我们的东非狩猎之旅中,这是我第一次看到大象,也是我最喜欢的一次。(我们还参观了马赛马拉、塞伦盖蒂、恩戈罗恩戈罗和安博塞利。)每个人都告诉我们,不要指望在狩猎之旅中看到所有的“五大动物”。但我们在纳库鲁湖的第一天就看到了其中的 4 种。我们还看到了更多的动物。那里的野生动物种类令人难以置信!五大动物中唯一没有看到的是大象。但我们看到了几种羚羊、狮子(没有老虎或熊)、白犀牛、非洲水牛和一只正在吃汤普森瞪羚的豹子。那是一个挑战。我们坐在那里盯着一棵树根周围的一些深厚的地被植物看了好一会儿,才终于瞥见了它。 (我们知道那里有东西,因为所有其他的游猎车辆都停在那里。)但由于豹子是夜行动物,而且是五大动物中最不可能见到的动物之一,所以我们感到很幸运。
纳库鲁湖不像塞伦盖蒂甚至马赛马拉那样出名,但我无论如何都不会错过它!
