点评:I really wasn’t expecting much after reading some of the reviews and we had already seen 4 of the big 5 the day before in Taragire. The first half of the day was spent in the northern part. The vegetation there is pretty but dense and we really didn’t see much except for baboons, an occasional elephant and a waterbuck. The lunch site was beautiful with a panoramic view of the lake. After lunch we proceeded to the south to the fringes of the lake. The dead trees and flooded areas were both a bit sad looking but also beautiful in their own way. The Rift Valley scenery was lovely. And then the animals just exploded. We saw about 60 elephants many of which were so close we could almost touch them. Zebras, giraffes, impalas, buffaloes, waterbucks. But the highlight was towards the end of the day when we saw a pair of leopards lying on the branches of a dead trees. We were told it’s extremely rare to see 2 leopards together and it’s likely that they were together only because they were mating. I guess we just got lucky.
翻译:读了一些评论后,我其实没抱太大期望,而且前一天我们在塔拉吉雷国家公园已经看到了“五大兽”中的四种。上午我们游览了北部地区。那里的植被虽然漂亮,但很茂密,除了狒狒、偶尔出现的大象和水羚之外,我们几乎没看到什么其他动物。午餐地点风景优美,可以俯瞰整个湖泊。午餐后,我们继续向南前往湖边。枯树和被淹没的区域看起来有些凄凉,但也别有一番风味。东非大裂谷的景色令人叹为观止。之后,动物们突然就出现了。我们看到了大约60头大象,其中很多都离我们非常近,几乎可以摸到它们。还有斑马、长颈鹿、黑斑羚、水牛和水羚。但最精彩的部分是在临近傍晚时分,我们看到一对豹子躺在枯树枝上。我们被告知,同时看到两只豹子极其罕见,它们很可能是因为交配才在一起的。我想我们只是运气好。
