Safari summary
The Mara offers wildlife in such variety and abundance that it is difficult to believe: over 450 species of animals have been recorded here, including the Big Five- lion, rhino, buffalo, leopard, and elephant. It is in the Mara where that most spectacular event of the natural world takes place. This is the annual migration of millions of wildebeest and zebra from the Serengeti in search of water and pasture.
Samburu, in Kenya’s semiarid north is another wildlife haven. Here you will spot Africa’s big cats – lions, cheetahs and the elusive leopard. Some animals are unique to this northern Kenya park: Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe, kudu and gerenuk. You will find the scenic semiarid landscape quite dramatic.
