In need for a wildlife safari in Africa?! Kenya should be one of your short listed countries on which you can choose on where to go for a wildlife safari in Africa. Kenya is composed of many distinct national parks and reserves protecting a huge and wide range of wildlife and these include; Maasai Mara National Reserve, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo National Park, Samburu National Reserve, Aberdare National Park, Lake NaKuru National Park, Meru National Park, Mount Kenya National Park and many others.

The most attractive and famous thing in Kenya’s national parks is the great migration where Wildebeests and other animals migrate from Tanzania’s Park to Kenya’s Park. Wildebeests and other species migrate from Serengeti National Park in Tanzania to Maasai Mara National Reserve in Kenya and this migration takes place during the months of July to late October of which it is the best period for Kenya to receive the highest number of tourists. Both Parks are conserved on the same ecosystem though are in different countries.

Serengeti National Park is on a large conservation area which stretches to the North in Kenya to form the Maasai Mara National Reserve thus both Parks can simply be called twin Parks since they are attached to each other and sometimes share the wildlife species such as; Wildebeests, Zebras, Topis, Thomson’s gazelles and many more. During the migration of Wildebeests, tourists in any of the two Parks will view a large number of Wildlife species especially the Maasai Mara National Reserve tourists since it is where the species will be heading to.

As you are planning to go to Maasai Mara National Reserve for viewing the migrating Wildebeests, you are entitled and emphasized to always travel in a period of July to October since it is their best time of migration and tourists are further advised to book with the best tour agencies such as Nature Adventure Africa Safaris Ltd and Eco Tours Kenya for best accurate services however tourists are also advised to book earlier before their tour such that they get all the best in their tour.

During this migration, almost two millions of the Wildebeests from Serengeti National Park cross to Maasai Mara National Reserve plus almost 250,000 Zebras, half a million of Thomson’s gazelles, almost 97,000 Topis and 18,000 elands thus increasing on the already high numbered species in the Park thus making the Park to be the most suitable Park in East Africa and also one of the best Africa-wide for wildlife safaris and tours. Besides the migration of a wide range of Wildebeests and other migrants, the Park is also a best place/park to view all Africa’s ‘’big five’’ wildlife species which are seen in plenty and these include; the African lions, African elephants, Buffaloes, Leopards and Rhinos together with over 470 bird species.

The Rivers (River Mara and River Talek) which are inhabited in the Park also give views to a very huge number of Crocodiles and Hippos as well as other interesting things which you will enjoy while at the Rivers. The Park is also a home to other wildlife species such as; bat-eared foxes, cheetahs, spotted hyenas and jackals however the Park is more invaded with the Wildebeests just like its southern twin Park (Serengeti National Park).

Some of the antelopes which can be viewed in the Park they include; Impalas, the large roan antelope, Grant’s gazelles, Coke’s hartebeests and duikers. However, in the plains of the Park you will also spot the Masai giraffes and visitors to the Park will not only enjoy the huge number of wildlife species and bird species but also interacting with the Masai local people is another interesting thing since you will enjoy a lot of things from them including their culture, dressing codes, language, dances, songs and many things.
