Maasai Mara National Reserve

It is one of the key popular tourism points in Kenya, located in South-Western Kenya along the Great-Rift Valley adjacent to Serengeti National Park of Tanzania. The attractions in Maasai Mara National Reserve are both Nature and Wildlife. The Wildebeest migration is also witnessed in the Kenya iconic Maasai Mara National Reserve. A good short safari combination for those hoping to also see all these charismatic creatures (The Big Five)(and much more besides) would be Maasai Mara (for lion, leopard, bufallo, and elephant) and Lake Nakuru (for black and white rhino).

Hell's Gate National Park

It lies South of Lake Naivasha in Kenya, North West of Nairobi. A small National Park. It is known for its wide variety of wildlife and for its scenery. There is a wide variety of Wildlife in the National Park though many are few in number, example of little seen wildlife include lions, leopards, and cheetahs.

Wilderbeast Migration

The best time to witness the migration from the Serengeti to Maasai Mara is between July and September. During this period the greatest spectacle on earth unfolds right before your eyes. Over a million wildebeest, zebra and gazelles make their way to Maasai Mara by crossing the crocodile-infested Mara River in search for greener pastures. Unfortunately though many are attacked and killed in the process.

The exact timing may change from year to year as it is a spontaneous event influenced by rainfall patterns and the subsequent grazing opportunities. The animals are constantly on the move all year-round. They stay in the Maasai Mara from July to october before gradually migrating back to the Serengeti from November.

Bwindi Imprenatrable National Park

Among East African forests, Bwindi has some of the richest populations of trees, small mammals, birds, reptiles, butterflies and moths. The park's diverse species are partly a result of the large variations of elevation and habitatatypes in the park and may also be because the forest was a refuge for species during glaciation in the Pleistocene epoch.

The park is inhabited by about 600 individual mountain gorillas known as the Bwindi population, which makes up almost half of all the mountain gorillas in the world.

Kibale National Park sand Queen Elizabeth National Park

Kibale National Park is an extension of the great rainforests of Central Africa. It is inhabited by three large "communities" of chimps, each numbering more than 100 individuals. Each community has a complicated social structure. The big adult males dominate the group and defend the community territory against incursions by male outsiders; the female usually wander in small family groups.Typically, the chimps are located by listening for their pant-hooting calls, then hustle to the area from which they are calling. They are observed as they feed in fruiting trees, lounge and socialize with each other or even occasionaly hunt.

Queen Elizabeth National Park incorporates dozens of mirror surfaces crater-lakes, salty and fresh water lakes. there are over 95 mammals including 10 primate species (chimpanzees, vervet, blue, red-tailed, L'Hoest monkey, colobus, baboons), upto 20 predators (lion, leopard, spotted hyena, etc), antelopes, buffaloes, hippos, elephants. more than 610 bird species (probably the highest total for any national park in Africa, if not the world.) In addition to 54 raptors the checklist includes virtually every water bird species of Uganda, a variety of woodland and forest species.

Ruwenzori Mountains

The Ruwenzori, are a range of mountains in Eastern equatorial Africa, located on the border between Uganda and the Democratic Republiuc of Congo. The highest peak of the Ruwenzori reaches 5,109 metres (16,762 ft), and the range's upper regios are permanently snow-caped and glaciated. rivers fed by mountain streams from one of the sources of the Nile for which reason during the european exploration of Africa, the Ruwenzori came to be identifies with the legendary mountains of the moon, identified by the Greek scholar Ptolemy as the Source of Nile.

Serengeti National Park

Named for the Maasai word "siringet" (which translates roughly as "the place where the land runs on forever"). Serengeti National Park is among the oldest game reserves in Tanzania. Its also one of the most iconic safari destinations on the African continent. Located in the north of the country, it partly adjoins the Kenyan border and together with the Maasai Mara National Reserve provides the backdrop for the annual Great Migration - considered by many to be the planets most impressive natural event.

Ngorongoro Crater

The main features of the Ngorongoro Conservation Authority is the Ngorongoro Crator, the world's largest inactive, intact and unfilled volcanic caldera. The crater, which formed when a large volcano exploded and collapsed on itself two to three milion years ago, is 610 meters (2,000 feet) deep and its floor covers 260 square kilometers (100 square miles). Estimates of the heightof the original volcano range from 4,500 to 5,800 meters (14,800 to 19,000 feet) high. The crater floor is 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) above sea level. The crater was voted by Seven Natural Wonders as one of the Seven Wonders of African in Arusha, Tanzania in 2013.

Tangarine National Park

Tangarine National Park is a national park in Tanzania's Manyara region. the name of the park originates from the Tangarine River Tangarine river is the primary source of fresh water for wirld animals in the Tangarine Ecosystem during the annual dry season. The Tangarine ecosystem is defined by the long-distance migration of wildebeest and zebras.

The park is famous for its high density of elephants and baobab trees. Visitors to the park in June and November dry season can expect to see large heards of thousands of zebra, wildebeest and cape bufallo. Predators in Tangarine include lion, leopard, cheetah, caracal, honey badger and African Wild Dog. The oldest known elephant to give birth to twins is found in Tangarine. A recent birth of elephant twins in the Tangarine National Park of Tanzania is a great example of how the birth of these two healthy and thriving twins can beat the odds.
