I wish i was a South African !
Being a person who is patriotic not just only on special days but whole 365 days of the year . But one day the same me wishes to be a South African .
The only reason I wanted to be a South African is to feel the Lion pride , hear howling Wolf pecks , Chickens , Duck families and all time favorite pack of Dogs.
An oasis of animals and only for animals
Hakuna Mipaka was created by Dean Schneider, a 27 year old energetic man who is the inspritation for budding entrepreneurs with passion and love for animals.
He was Born and bought up in Switzerland was a banker and financial planner. He was a successful entrepreneur by 21 with around 45 employees who could check the list he made.
And then he started to move towards his passion and love .
That is when he builds a 400 hectare " Hakuna Mipaka " which means no limits in Swahali .
For me the oasis is not just only a place for animals but a place with abundant love , affection and joy .
It's a home for many different species where they just live with freedom under some good protection in their own ecosystems .
The best thing that drives me crazy about this place is all the animals just being treated as family and referred as brothers & sisters and named accordingly .
Feeling my presence over there , watching the animals grow , seeing their activities both cute and wild ,watching their phases of life , playing with them , growing up with them will always tend to be my favorite oooohhh what more do a philotherianist need ?
With all that in mind , I started planning to explore the oasis but that is when I came to know him deep and better, about the tremendous vision of Dean .
Even though I knew" No tourism and Safaris were allowed " and it was strictly the happy place of animals . Not even volunteer programmers were given a the chance to enter the oasis . The only way to enter is by getting a job in which they recruit rarely now and then for the records and maintaince of the oasis . Dean strictly held it for people of South African who accepted him with warm heart and helped him build Mipaka . knowing this I am feeling great for him ,his vision and the animals because they can live in so much freedom with out any new people's sight just like their own ecosystems , but the animal lover in me was so sad as i can't be one among those lucky people who get to work for animals and their welfare.
But some how the happiness of their freedom made me more happy. I made up my mind to wander around places where I can have access to meet my loved one's .When i was fishing in the ocean of social media of my inspirations
And that is when my face had a very broad smile and my go to place has changed .
Did u ever imagine a Elephant looking like a tiny ant ? but i never imagined it .
But when i saw those pictures. I just felt the gaint beauty seeming more beautiful in a huge nature's yard .
Yah ! That beast seeming like an ant before the cloudy Mount kilimanjaro.
The Lion on the rock with the raising sun just felt like the Lion king of my childhood .The birds flying above the red hot ball .
The hot air ballons just felt like ballons which are threaded by dazzle of Zebras with the beautiful calming sun .
The Giraffe feeling like the brother of trees enjoying the cool monsoons .
Couple of Deers relaxing by watching the cluster of Butterflies .
Even though there are other places like this , I still dont know why I fell in love with this place where I could live life long Amboseli national park , Kenya .
