The Masai
Mara reserve is in south-western Kenya.
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
Hippopotami
are found in large groups in the Masai Mara and Talek Rivers. Cheetah
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 hervibores: 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.
Lake
Nakuru is one of the Rift Valley
soda lakes. It lies to the south of Nakuru,
in central Kenya and is protected
by a small Lake Nakuru National Park.
The lake's
abundance of algae attracts the vast quantity of flamingos.
Lake
Nakuru National Park (168 km²) is best known for its thousands,
sometimes millions of flamingos nesting along the shores.
The surface
of the shallow lake is often hardly recognizable due to the continually
shifting mass of pink.
The number
of flamingoes on the lake varies with water and food conditions and the
best vantage point is from Baboon Cliff.
Also of interest
is an around the lake fenced off as a sanctuary to protect Rothschild
giraffes and black rhinos.
Other members
of big five like lions,leopards,buffalos etc are to be found here.
Treetops
Hotel is a hotel in Aberdare National Park in Kenya.It was literally
built into the tops of the trees of the Aberdares National Park as a treehouse,
offering the guests a close view of the local wildlife in complete safety.
It includes observation lounges and ground level photographic hides from
which guests can observe the local wildlife which come to the nearby waterholes.
It is probably best known as the place where The Princess Elizabeth
asceded to the Throne on the death of her father George VI during
a visit in 1952.
