About Masai Mara:

This is the most famous park in Kenya and the entire Africa.Some time back, it was declared the 8th wonder of the world due to the famous great migration which takes place annually in this wonderful reserve.

Named for the Maasai people (the traditional inhabitants of the area) and the Mara River which divides it, it is famous for its exceptional population of game and the annual migration of the wildebeest every July and August, a migration so immense it is called the Great Migration.

The Masai Mara is most famous for its lions. All other members of the "Big Five" are to be found in the Masai Mara. Hippos are found in large groups in the Masai Mara and Talek Rivers. Cheetahs are also to be found.
The wildebeest are the dominant inhabitant of the Masai Mara, and their numbers are estimated in the millions. Around July of each year these animals migrate from the Serengeti plains in search of fresh pasture, and return to the south around October.

The Great Migration is one of the most impressive natural events worldwide, involving an immensity of herbivores: Wildebeest, Thomson's gazelle, and Zebra.
These numerous migrants are followed along their annual, circular route by a block of hungry predators, most notably lions and hyena.

The Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area is located between the Serengeti and Lake Manyara. It is home to the famous Ngorongoro Crater which is the largest unbroken caldera in the world. The Crater is a spectacular setting in which to experience your African safari.

Some scientists maintain that before it erupted, Ngorongoro Crater - the largest intact caldera in the world - would have been higher than Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest point in Africa. Covering a mere 260 square kilometers (100 square miles), the 600 meter (1969 foot)-deep Crater is home to a permanent population of more than 30 000 animals. It is one of the few places in Africa where you stand a very good chance of seeing the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino and elephant) in the course of a game- drive.

The local Maasai have permission to graze their cattle on the Crater floor, and it is not unusual to see Maasai cattle and buffalo grazing together with lion mere meters away. There are around 1000 lions in the Crater, approximately 20 black rhino, and the spectacular Lerai Forest is one of the best places in Africa to spot leopard.
