Masai Mara is home to the "Big Five" (Elephant, Buffalo, Lion, Leopard
and Rhino) and over 450 bird species. Apart from the big five, the Masai Mara
is most famous for the spectacular annual migration of over a million wildebeest,
zebra, gazelle etc from the Serengeti in northern Tanzania crossing the Mara River
into Kenya in search of fresh feeding grounds, which takes place in late July
or August. During this crossing, hundreds of animals are swept away by the first
moving Mara River and others are killed by the ferocious African Crocodiles. This
crossing gives true meaning to the phrase "Survival of the fittest".
Experience the breathtaking view of the Mara plains and it's wonderful rich wildlife.
The park has also been established for the protection of endangered species such
as the rhino and is also home to Columbus monkeys, Leopards, Giraffes, and a variety
of plain antelope. Lake Nakuru National Park is often described as the “World’s
Greatest Bird Spectacle ”.
