Beaches and the Bush of Kenya have an Italian beneath every Umbrella!
One vacations
in other countries for Nature and Culture. Italians obviously don't have
to leave Italy for Culture, it is the Greatest Storehouse of Culture
in the World. So for Nature, Italians are attracted to one of the most
outstanding Nature Reserves in the World..... Masai Mara
I have been to Masai Mara, and slept
several nights in tents, (and I'm a room service person)...... and this
was one of the most impressive sights I have seen, and I've missed few.
I trod ...very carefully...among Elephants, Lions, Rhinoceros, Hippopotami.
I saw a Cheetah drag a Gazelle up a tree, to protect itself and it's prey
from packs of Hyenas. I was witness to the "The Great Migration" which
is one of the most impressive natural events worldwide, involving some
1,300,000 Wildebeest, There were so many jaw dropping experiences, and
wonders of nature that one article could not make a dent.
Yet this British writer spends most
of the article talking about his difficulty of dealing with Swahili and
Colloquialisms, which I thought went way beyond stupid. I thought the Romans
civilized the Brits, but obviously not enough.

Why do the Beaches and the Bush of Africa have an Italian beneath every Umbrella?
Terry Wogan enjoys an unusual holiday in Kenya.
London Telegragh; Terry Wogan; March 12, 2011
...My visit to East Africa included a trip to the Masai Mara, where I saw enough zebras, giraffes, monkeys, mongeese, gazelles, elephants, lions and hyenas to last me a lifetime. And Italians. All Kenya seemed alive with them, and nobody could tell me why. You never see Italian tourists in Spain, France, or anywhere else, apart from Oxford Street. So how come the beaches and the bush of Africa have an Italian beneath every umbrella, behind every tree?.......
