Cai Ling

Seeing animals in Kenya, you must not go to the "Nestlé Hotel". In other national parks, you are sitting on sightseeing cars and looking around. In the "Nestlé Hotel", the animals are walking from all directions to visit you in the "nest".

Kenya's location in Africa

Kenya and surrounding neighbors

Nestlé Hotel, also known as tree hotel, is located on a mountain in the Aberder Wildlife Reserve 160 kilometers away from Kenya's first Hamanelobi. Before visiting the district, you must first arrive in the small town of Shanfu Town, and go through the climbing procedures and purchase tickets at the reception station named Outspan (Italian Temporary Retry). As soon as I entered Outspan, the waiter of the hospitality gave everyone a cup of sweet "love juice" that was just squeezed in the local fresh fruit, and worked hard all the way. Take a moment of rest in Outspan, enjoy free buffet lunches, and taste East African special dishes. If the time is rich, you have a 200th leader (the British colonies in Kenya history, which is still a member of the Commonwealth, so you can use the British currency unit), and you can also go to the town in the town in the Takuyu Younu cultural village in Kenya. There are some original local native songs and dances, visit the traditional house of Kikuyou. The polygamy is still prevalent in the local area. What is surprising is that the number of wives depends on the number of male livelihoods. 3-4 cows marry a wife. The more cow, the more wives.

The typical African song and dancing began. Kikaka was wearing unique African indigenous costumes, with a peculiar pattern on the face, knocking on the weird musical instruments I have never seen, dancing in the rough sound of Darma, or Change the formation, or fight around, or hug and kiss each other, showing different tribal rituals such as hunting, farming, friendship, love, childhood and childlike daughter. The old witch medals on the spot, occupying hexagrams for everyone, predicting good or bad.

Car must not enter the protected area. Visitors came out of OUTSPAN, and everything was escorted by many guards carrying double -tube shotguns and puppets, hiking into the area, quietly approaching the trees on the hotel, entering the hotel door, and then closed. Go out. One is to prevent any animals from being frightened and escaped. However, when leaving the museum, under the escort of the guard of the shotgun, tourists were allowed to take a few minutes to take pictures.

Kenya's many trees on a hotel

The earliest construction of residential observation and research on the tree was the British explorer Walker and his wife in the 1920s. On a mountain under the peak of Kenya, a forest is densely forest, an animals, and a pond on the other side of a pond, and built a unique tree -top hotel in the world at that time. The hotel is built by the Ark of the Bible story in Noah. It is unique and strangely shaped. It is 21 meters away from the ground. The hotel opened in November 1932. At that time, there were only two very small rooms, and the owner was one, so only one observer could be received at a time. In addition to looking at wild animals, guests can also overlook the second peak of Africa and the locals call the "Shenshan" Kenya Mountain.

Elizabeth witnessed the scene of wildlife killing each other at the Tree Top Hotel, and took this thrilling battle of animals in forests with colored films. An antelope, an antelope that was broken from the side wall from the side wall, struggled desperately in the pond water, and went ashore in difficulties. He used the last strength to move into the grass on the shore. He tried to eat grass for life, and eventually died tragically. At present, the head of the antelope, who is unyielding, stubbornly survived, and insisted on the last breath, is still hanging in the reception room of the Outspan under the mountain. The dead antelope seemed to be kind, survival and unyielding light!

In 1954, a fire burned the tree -top hotel. It was rebuilt in 1957 and moved to the current position. After several expansion, it has developed to a maximum of 52 rooms that can receive up to 94 tourists at the same time. The hotel is divided into three floors, and there are 2 presidential suite on the three floors with a separate small bathroom and a separate observation deck. In the room where Elizabeth lived, she and her family were hanging. On February 5, 1952, the room where Elizabeth lived in the hotel was still preserved for visit

The hotel has a bar, living room, restaurant, and two long and thick elephant teeth hanging at the entrance of the restaurant, which is comparable to the Extraordinary ivory at the entrance of the Kenyan National Museum. There are two smaller ivory in the restaurant. It is said that the two elephants with two ivory have used ivory to leave the museum to death to his non -courteous tourists. Kill. Tree Hotels are thoughtful for tourists, and tourists who are dusty can also take a hot bath in a public bathing room on the tree.

In the past, tourists can see many animals at the Tree Top Hotel because animals must drink water in ponds. In the dry season, people can see groups of buffalo, water antelopes, wild boars and wild birds, and rhinos, bulls, elephants and cheetahs. Due to the decrease in animal populations and quantities, and the increase in tourists, the lives of wild animals have been disturbed, and animals have become less and less water to drink water. In order to attract animals to drink water to meet the requirements of tourists to watch animals, managers sprinkled salt in the forest. The animals had to go to the pond to drink water after licking salt. Due to too many tourists, many animals did not dare to go to the pond during the day to endure the thirst. And tired and sleepy tourists cannot wait all night, so the hotel has managers every night to keep the night. Once the animals are found, they will sound an electric bell, which represents an elephant. At first sight, the cheetah visited and got up to see the respect.

In the depths of the silent mountains, the night is quiet, and the root needles can be heard. The harsh electric ringtones will be far away, so that animals who want to go to the pond to drink water immediately erected their ears alertly. Then the dazzling electric lights were lit. In the dark mountain forest, it was like a shining ghost fire. Immediately scared the animals, the water had time to drink and escaped, and could only endure thirst for a long time.

Due to the reduction of the food, the hungry animals thought that the salt was delicious. Licking the first sip and felt delicious, so he licked it, and then felt that the thirst was unbearable, and he had to risk going to the pond to drink water. Visitors are full of eyes, but many animals have damaged the kidneys due to excessive salt, or drink too much water and damage the stomach, and some are killed by water alive.

The decrease in the number of animal populations and quantity, some extinction or endangered; animals are afraid of humans, and alienated relationships with humans are due to the excessive expansion of human behavior for their own desires and human activities, which infringes the habitat where animals live in habitats depends on the survival place of survival. To. Animals have been squeezed by humans on this earth that can live freely on this earth. Let the animals in this world of African wild animal reserves really be really protected by protection of free life! Protecting animals is to protect human beings!
