Location
Maasai Mara
Maasai Mara National Reserve is the most popular tourist destination in Kenya. Located in the Great Rift Valley, it is primarily an open grassland. Wildlife is most concentrated on the reserve’s western escarpment. It is regarded as the jewel of Kenya’s wildlife viewing areas. The annual wildebeest’s migration alone involves over 1.5 million animals arriving in July and departing in November. Hardly can a visitor miss to spot the Big Five. The phenomenal wildebeest migration which is a spectacular event that can be seen in Maasai Mara is the wonder of the world.
Serengeti
The term Serengeti means endless plains in Maasai language. In the central plains, there are carnivores like leopard, lion, hyena, and cheetah. This park is normally the scene of the annual migration of wildebeest and zebra that occurs between the Kenyan Mara and the Serengeti. Varied bird species can be seen here including eagles, ducks, geese, egrets, vultures, secretary birds, ibis, stork, herons, kites, pelicans, cranes and guinea fowl. The Serengeti National park is an arguably the best-known wildlife sanctuary in the world with over three million large mammals.
About 35 species of plains animals can be seen here including the Big Five - elephant, rhino, lion, leopard, and buffalo. Other common species found here include hippo, giraffe, eland, impala, and other antelope types, baboons, monkey, and a profusion of over 500 species of birds. In May or early June, huge herds of wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra begin their annual spectacular migration northwards.
Manyara
Lake Manyara National Park is known for the flamingos that inhabit the lake. During the wet season, they inhabit the edges of the lake in flocks of thousands but they are not so present during the dry season. More than 400 species of birds inhabit the park and many remain throughout the year. Because of this, Lake Manyara National Park is a good spot for bird watching. Visitors to the park can expect to see upwards of 100 different species of bird on any day.
Leopards, Maasai lions, cheetahs, elephants, blue monkeys, dik-dik, gazelles, hippopotami, Maasai giraffe, impala, zebras, and many more wild animals inhabit this park and many can be seen throughout the year. There is a hippo pond at one end of the park where visitors can get out of their cars and observe from a safe distance. The leopards and lions are both known to lounge in the trees while not hunting for prey.
Ngorongoro Crater
The most famous such crater is without question Ngorongoro, the world’s largest intact volcanic caldera and home to the highest density of big game in Africa, including all the Big Five and plenty of predators. Ngorongoro is justifiably one of the continent’s most famous safari destinations.
