The last Monday of July last year I woke up in a tent overlooking Mara plains in Kenya. It is the same day I had to board my flight back to London to attend a youth conference meeting in downtown London the following day. I had postponed my flight to catch a glimpse of the spectacular historic wildebeest migration in East Africa. There is something oddly satisfying about seeing the food chain at full speed turning a river red with blood as millions of animals strive to survive. Since my arrival in the camp, no migration had taken place as the animals were grouping on the other side of the bank before crossing. I lazily got out of the tent just in time to meet our tour guide who was eager to inform us they were expecting a crossing that day. I forgot about breakfast and rushed inside to collect my camera and jumped into the car and headed to the banks of Mara river. I was lucky to witness the magical spectacle of hundreds of thousands of animals diving right into a river filled with crocodiles. I even captured a few shots and got back into the city to catch my flight that evening with few minutes to spare.
My hobby is travelling. I have been mostly to Europe. I like travelling and I would advise others to travel to meet new people and learn about diverse cultures. Each trip has left an indelible mark in my memory. I reflect upon these experiences and document them to show them to my friends and family. They come with their challenges and fun. In all the places I have visited, other than missing my bed, I do not regret the fun and the memories.
