Kenya - Masai Mara National Park, Kenya

Displayed:   times.

Masai Mara National Park is the Kenyan portion of the world-renowned Serengeti ecosystem and is located in southwestern Kenya approximately 275 kilometres from Nairobi. The Mara, Talek and Sand Rivers flow through the park. The Mara River runs from north to south and then turns westwards to Lake Victoria. The vegetation consists of rolling grasslands with scattered savannah woodlands as far as the eye can see. The main attraction is the ultimate wildlife spectacle labelled the "The Great Migration". Massive herds of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle arrive from Tanzania in search of water and grazing in approximately mid-July and return south in the middle of October.
