The Masai Mara Game Reserve

...seasons typical in other Kenyan areas. In the hills and plains, grasslands are scattered with acacia woods and bush. The riverbanks of the Mara and of the multiple tributary streams are bordered by dense riverine forests.
Maasai communities live within this area with their stock but a century of close associationGazelle in the Masai Mara Game Reserve with wild animals has resulted in an almost symbiotic relationship where wildlife and people live in peace with one another.
Although July, August and September are the months when the Masai Mara plains are filled with migrating wildebeest and zebra, there is much resident wildlife year round. All members of the "Big Five" can be seen here, although the population of black rhinoceros is severely threatened, with a population of only 37 recorded in 2000. Hippopotami are found in large groups in the Masai Mara and Talek rivers. Additionally, over 450 species of birdlife have been identified in the park, including vultures, marabou storks, secretary birds, hornbills, crowned cranes, ostriches, long-crested eagles, and African pygmy-falcons.
