Random ADVENTURE IN THE CONGO (continued, p.2) We spent about an hour with the gorillas, as a longer stay might harm their way of life, but it no doubt was the highlight during our trip. To see so magnificent creatures, from prying boys under tremendous leaders in their native habitat, it was one of those memorable events that occur once in a lifetime. When our time is up, we again descended to the car, done the way down through the mountains and crossed the border. We stayed for a brief period in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but it was worth it, and if you ever get a chance to get there - use it! Impala antelope From Kisoro, we make a detour through Uganda back to Kenya. The last stop on the way was Lake Nakuru, where we had last safari in a national park. Lake Nakuru - a body of water, which significantly decreased in the early 90-ies. But since it has already managed to regain their former size. And although this is his greatest depth is only 1.03 meters, despite the fact that surface area - 45 square miles. Our guide said that if you want we can cross the ford, but hinted that it is better we stay in the car. One of the most vivid impressions of the lake were pink flamingos, which are crowded here, attracted by the abundance of algae. Then on the shore was about 400 thousand individuals, but at the peak of the season their number may reach 1.4 million. This is strikingly beautiful place where everything seemed to be pink, flapped their wings and squawk. Flamingo Another attractive feature of the local national park are everywhere wandering rhinos. During our trip we once caught a glimpse of a black rhino. It was great to see them here in such numbers and in their natural habitat. This is a huge, almost prehistoric creatures, and we are very fortunate to see many white rhinos so close to our car. Unfortunately, this time we do not have time to look at the black rhino, as they are more common in the forests. However, the white rhinoceros is truly impressive. Chin up! Now, our journey came to an end. We spent seven weeks in the car, traveled to Africa, from Cape Town to the Democratic Republic of Congo. During our travels we've seen a lot of amazing places, from the vast spaces of the Okavango delta to an exciting descent into the Ngorongoro Crater and the dazzling grandeur of mountain gorillas. Buffalo We also fortunate to meet along the way a lot of amazing people. Ranging from those who cared for us in all camps and camp sites, and ending with your friends, fellow travelers. We would like to thank Drew and Henry, for what they took us on this journey, which was not easy, but it was all without any complications. We would also like to thank all those who have made friends along the way, without you guys, the trip would have been much longer, complicated and not so fun. We wish you luck in all your future travels, wherever you are neither scored. Zebra Now, after breaking up in Nairobi, it was nice to be reunited again with our friends Dan, Becky, Poppy, and Villa, and we all returned to the United Kingdom. We have in stock a few weeks to prepare for the next trip, this time in South America. Next stop - Rio. Start material: See also: Indonesia-Malaysia-Brunei island of natural wonders
