点评:On a safari, spotting the big cats rank as the highlight of game drives and when you spot a prime cat like the Queen of the Wild at Lion's Rock on your first drive, that's massive.
We went straight to Taita Hills Safari Resort & Spa to a warm reception followed by a quick lunch. It was followed by a stroll to the Educational Centre and afterwards, we piled into our safari vehicles and went on a late afternoon game drive through the wildlife sanctuary.
After spotting the usual suspects, zebra, impala, eland; a radio call came to our driver from another driver that a lion has been spotted. Quickly, he swung into overdrive and we went searching. There she was in her majestic strides, unperturbed by the activities around her — safari vehicles, tourists, clicking cameras and all. She just stroked along — the Queen of the Wild. It was exciting.
Later on, we had to pass another route because an elephant had mounted a road block.
We had a game drive the next morning and we spotted a herd of elephants crossing the road. Two big cats were spotted camouflaged in the savannah grassland. Baboons, giraffes, elanda, zebras, etc...
Great experience.

我们直接去了泰塔山野生动物园度假村及水疗中心,受到了热情的接待,然后我们吃了顿便饭。之后,我们漫步到教育中心,之后挤进游猎车,在傍晚时分驱车穿越野生动物保护区。
在发现了常见的动物——斑马、黑斑羚和大羚羊之后,我们的司机接到了另一位司机的无线电呼叫,说发现了一头狮子。他迅速加大车速,带我们去寻找。狮子昂首阔步,丝毫没有被周围的一切——游猎车、游客、咔哒咔哒的相机等等——所干扰。它只是悠闲地走着——“野生动物女王”。这真是令人兴奋。
后来,我们不得不绕道而行,因为一头大象挡住了路。
第二天早上我们驱车游猎,看到一群大象正在过马路。两只大型猫科动物在草原上伪装着。还有狒狒、长颈鹿、伊兰达羚羊、斑马等等……
很棒的体验。
