Yala national park safari

Yala NP is the most popular national park in Sri Lanka. No wonder why, we were there for about three hours and yet we saw amazing number of wildlife.  I have been to several African countries for Safaris so I did not expect much from Yala. But I was pleasantly surprised by both the landscapes and wildlife we encountered. Here are just some photos of the animals I took during this wonderful safari.

Maasai girl

Only one portrait this time. A Maasai girl.

It was after an exciting game drive at Tarangire national park in Tanzania. Late afternoon, the others went to the Curio shop or to the restrooms. I was resting by the car when she came by. Quietly, not saying a word, she was standing and watching me inquisitively. I gave her a pen i was just writing with. We were watching each other for a few moments, then I raised my camera slowly and waiting for her reaction. She did not move at all. I took a photograph, she smiled to me and walked away. A fair trade.
