The Ultimate Kenya camping Safari safari with Enchoro wildlife camp
Although not as large as its neighbour Tanzania - or Texas for that matter - the country is blessed with a rich diversity of wildlife, complemented by a mix of vegetation ranging from forests to deserts, and stunning landscapes that one feels may only be found in Africa.One of the best-known attractions in Kenya is the Masai mara game reserve, a 1500 km² wildlife conservation area which is, to put it illustratively, home to virtually the "animal kingdom".
The Masai Mara, or simply "Mara" as it is commonly known, is deservedly regarded as the jewel in Kenya"s wildlife crown.
And the diamond in the Mara"s own crown must surely be the Wildebeest migration, an annual spectacle that every wildlife enthusiast dreams of seeing - a million-plus wildebeest and other animals such as zebra, guided by instinct alone, crossing en masse into the Masai Mara from the bordering plains of the vast Serengeti reserve
The sight is one to savour with unabashed awe as the massive herds of animals first gather for days, south of the Mara and then, when dictated by their primal instincts, start the trek northwards from the Serengeti, on the way crossing the treacherous, shoulder-deep and rock-strewn Mara river
The migration proper, when the herds are fully on the move into the Mara, lasts well over three to four weeks. Once the wildebeest do make it through, now broken into smaller herds, they re-group on the fertile green plain of the Mara, where they feed and mate to give birth later in the year.
The big cats - lion, leopard, and cheetah - follow the wildebeest, essentially their main source of food, into the Mara. So the Mara at this time is literally packed with wildlife, providing lucky visitors on safari with superb sightings of game. The Great Wilderbeest Migration, between Serengeti and Masai mara is always a Thrill! the natural phenomenon of migration of zebras and wilderbeest. Kenya safaris can take a period of 2 to 3 days, or even a more than a week to give the visitors more time to view wildlife.
