点评:We recently visited Reteti Elephant Sanctuary as a day trip from Samburu National Park. This was part of a seven-day Safari with Sunworld Safaris. At first, the drive there seemed long, and we wondered where we were going but when we arrived, we quickly recovered from our African massage, as everything was wonderful. We had been to the David Sheldrick center on a previous trip to Kenya, but this was so much more informative and authentic.
Naomi was a personal guide for the tour, and it was inspiring to meet her and hear about her experience of working at the Sanctuary. She was extremely knowledgeable, and it was hard to believe that she had just finished the local secondary school and had learnt everything on the job.
We were lucky as after our visit to Reteti, we headed to Loisaba Conservancy. This is where two of the elephants at Refeti were first found, including the famous Long’uru, who lost his truck. While we were in Loisaba we were able to meet David Saruni who in charge of the team who first rescued Long’uru and we also saw photos of his rescue. This made our trip to Reteti even more special.
After visiting the Sanctuary, we had a very pleasant picnic lunch at the amazing Elephant rock painted by French artist Mantra. Highly recommend this trip and even though it is a bumpy road ,the experience outweighs the little discomfort you may feel.
翻译:我们最近从桑布鲁国家公园出发,一日游参观了雷特蒂大象保护区。这是Sunworld Safaris七日游的一部分。起初,路途似乎很长,我们一头雾水,不知道要去哪里。但到达目的地后,我们很快就从非洲式按摩中恢复过来,因为一切都很棒。我们之前去肯尼亚的时候也去过大卫·谢尔德里克中心,但这次的体验更加丰富,也更加地道。
Naomi是这次旅行的私人导游,与她见面并听她讲述在保护区工作的经历,令人深受启发。她知识渊博,很难相信她刚刚从当地中学毕业,而且是在工作中学到所有知识。
我们很幸运,在参观完雷特蒂之后,我们前往了洛伊萨巴保护区。雷特蒂的两头大象就是在这里首次被发现的,其中包括著名的龙乌鲁,它丢失了卡车。在洛伊萨巴,我们见到了大卫·萨鲁尼,他是最初拯救龙乌鲁的团队负责人,我们还看到了他获救的照片。这让我们的雷特蒂之旅更加特别。
参观完保护区后,我们在法国艺术家曼特拉绘制的大象岩旁享用了一顿非常愉快的野餐。强烈推荐这次旅行,虽然路途崎岖,但这份体验足以弥补你可能感受到的些许不适。
