Masai Mara, Serengeti Kenya, Great Migration, Authentic Wildebeest
One of the Great New Wonders of the World is the Wildebeest Migration at the Masai Mara National Game Reserve. There are well over two million Wildebeest that migrate from Serengeti in Tanzania to the Masai Mara National Game Reserve in Kenya. This great phenomena occurs during July through to October. The migration crosses the Mara River where crocodiles lie in wait for the migration of the Wildebeest, those that have crossed safely, will still face the largest population of lions at the Masai Mara Game Reserve.

Gazing up at Kilimanjaro's serene sun kissed snow-cap from a game lodge in Amboseli is memorable, but then so is sighting that very first lion or elephant, or ballooning over the lush Maasai Mara National Game Reserve - gazing at the incomparable view of the Great Rift Valley, excitingly strewn with lakes and extinct volcanoes.

Meru National Park
Meru National Park is a geographically diverse park on the lowland plains of central Kenya. Heavy rainfall supports jungles, bush lands and tall grass lands. The dense vegetation attracts many herbivores which in turn attracts their predators. Elephants, giraffes, cheetahs, kudu, water bucks, oryx and impala are commonly seen in Meru.
Abadare National Park
Because Abadare National Park can only be navigated by four wheel drive vehicles it is one of the least visited of Kenya's safari destinations. This means a safari may be a little more difficult to organize but you will benefit from the absence of crowds. Giant kingfishers, black serval cats and black leopards are some of the more unusual species you may spot there, along with lions and elephants.
Tsavo East and West National Parks
Tsavo West National Park is known for its watering holes that attract animals and birds in huge numbers, especially during the dry season. Mzima Springs in the park is abundant with hippos and crocodiles. Tsavo East National Park provides a scenic landscape of rock formations created by ancient lava flows, providing a beautiful background for spotting herds of elephants, elusive black rhinos and some rare antelope species.
Lake Bogoria National Game Reserve
Lake Bogoria is home to huge flamingo populations which migrated there due to reduced water levels at their previous favorite location, Lake Nakuru. It is estimated that around 1.5 million birds live around the lake making this a spectacular location for a safari. The Reserve contains hot springs, geysers, wooded and barren areas where gazelles, warthogs and zebras wander freely.
