The famous images of millions of pink flamingos congregating on the surface of a soda lake is a familiar one at Lake Nakuru. It is here they gather in huge numbers to feed on the algae, making for a wildlife photographers dream come true.

Yet there is more to Lake Nakuru than these bizarre looking birds. There is plenty of game to be spotted and the park is one of the best places in Africa to see the elusive Leopard.

An abundance of wildlife is on offer at Maasai Mara Game Reserve ranging from the smallest of insects and reptiles, to the largest mammal walking the earth. Have your camera ready at all times on this three day trip as there are surprises lurking behind every tree and under every rock.

Spend two nights in the famous reserve allowing you plenty of time to start ticking off the "Big Five" (Buffalo, Elephant, Leopard, Lion and Rhinoceros) or even the "Big Nine" (Cheetah, Zebra, Giraffe and Hippo). If wildlife is what you came to Kenya for, look no further.

Mara safari composed of various sequences of lion mothers and their cubs. How careful they are with each other! Enjoy the clip!

Secreted deep within the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Serena Safari Lodge is the ultimate safari destination. Set high on a bush-cloaked hill, embraced by arcing vistas and washed by a sea of richly rolling grasslands, it stands centre-stage to one of Africa's most dramatic wildlife arenas and has a ringside seat for the greatest wildlife show on Earth, the legendary migration of the wildebeest.

Drawing its inspiration from the traditional Maasai cultural motif of a cluster of domed, mud-coloured huts encircled by a "Boma" of brushwood, the Mara Serena offers a rare blend of raw African splendour and sumptuous sophistication. The essentially ethnic décor also draws on a vibrant colour-palette of sun-burst colours, embellished by a unique selection of Maasai art to create the look and feel of a traditional bush encampment. The lodge features individual rooms, each with their own balcony and view of eternity, a sky-blue swimming pool and a spectacular restaurant, overlooking a water hole where a fantasia of creatures collect to drink.

Are you planning for safari in Kenya? I bet this is an interesting activity that would leave you in a lot of excitement.

The best time to be in Kenya for safari to experience the diversity in wildlife is during the annual migration of millions of wildebeest, zebra and others travel through the Mara plains with predators close behind. The best season to see this is during the months of July to October. Other parks in Kenya are also excellent and the best time to visit these would be during the dry seasons that is; January through March and July through October.

The great annual migration of millions of zebra, wildebeest and other antelope in East Africa tops almost every list of safari experiences. When you plan your trip, you'll need information about the annual migration, the best times to witness this wildlife spectacle, where to stay, and when to see it in Kenya and Tanzania.

This clip shows the migration of the wildebeest.


With the lack of enough water during the dry seasons, the animals tend to gather in more high numbers around permanent water holes, rivers and lakes, so they are easier to find. The vegetation is also less lush which simply means that viewing animals from a distance is easier. For more information contact Mara
