SAFARI KENYA CAMPING OR LODGE SAFARI
One
of the finest wildlife sanctuaries in Kenya, is the Maasai
Mara, home to migrant birds, about 57 different species of
birds of prey and wildlife in abundance. On arrival, one
is immediately struck by the large herds of elephant,
shuffling about almost the grasslands. Due to the
prolific amount of game, it is not surprising that lion,
cheetah and leopard find an ongoing source of food here.
Within the Mara river, hippo wallow.
However, by far the most spectacular sight in the Mara, is the massive migration of animals to new grazing pastures each year. Between July and August each year, literally millions of wildebeest, often aptly termed the "clowns of the African wildlife", head in their droves from the Serengeti in search of fresh grasslands further north towards the Maasai Mara in Kenya. The best place from which to view the mass migration is from the Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
