One of Kenya’s undisputed natural highlights is the Masai Mara National Reserve, which sprawls across more than 1,500 square kilometres of the country’s southwest. The park protects a phenomenal array of game, including elephant, lion, leopard, and buffalo, as well as crocodile and hippopotamus in the Mara River. The birdlife is no less impressive, with over 450 resident bird species.
However, the true highlight here is the Great Migration, recognised as one of the Seven New Wonders of the World. To survive the dry months of July to September, some 1.7 million wildebeest migrate from the parched plains of the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. Along with much smaller numbers of antelope, buffalo, and zebra, they move to the more forgiving grasslands of the Masai Mara. In their wake come predators such as lion, hyena, and cheetah, for whom these giant herds are an easy source of prey.
