The reserve, gazetted in 1961, is located west of the Rift Valley and is a natural extension of the Serengeti plains, in Tanzania. The Mara river, the reserve's backbone, traverses north to south heading for its westbound way unto lake Victoria, through the Tanzanian park. 13 Nov 2007 04:07:38 GMT http://www.7thwonderworld.com/masai-mara.html A million wildebeest... each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfilling its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life: a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests and mating; survival of the fittest as 40km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters on the annual exodus north; replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily before the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again. 13 Nov 2007 04:07:38 GMT http://www.7thwonderworld.com/serengeti.html The Maasai are a strongly independent people who still value tradition and ritual as an integral part of their everyday lives. They regard themselves not just as residents of this area but that they are as much a part of the life of the land as the land is part of their lives. Traditionally, the Maasai rarely hunt and living alongside wildlife in harmony is an important part of their beliefs. Lions and Wildebeest play as important a role in their cultural beliefs as their own herds of cattle. This unique co-existence of man and wildlife makes this Maasai land one of the world’s most unique wilderness regions 13 Nov 2007 04:07:38 GMT http://www.7thwonderworld.com/masai.html The largest mass movement of land mammals on the planet and one of the most breathtaking events in the animal kingdom, The Great Migration involves millions of wildebeest, as they follow an annual circular route around the Serengeti in Tanzania into Masai Mara in Kenya deifying crocodile infested rivers and flocks of predators along the way. A 500km round trip from the Southern Serengeti to the northern edge of the Masai Mara National Reserve, the Great Migration is probably Africa's greatest wildlife spectacle and one of the World's most exceptional natural phenomena. These migrants include about 2,000,000 Wildebeest, almost half a million Thomson's Gazelle, about a million Zebra, and thousands of Eland. Along the way they find Lions, Hyenas, Elephants, Buffalos, Leopards, cheetahs among others. 13 Nov 2007 04:07:38 GMT http://www.7thwonderworld.com/wildebeest-migration.html 3days masai mara, safaris to amboseli, samburu, naivasha, ngorongoro, manyara, tarangire,nakuru, kikuyu, aberdares, mt. kenya, nairobi, mombasa 13 Nov 2007 04:07:38 GMT http://www.7thwonderworld.com/safaris.html Kenya is one of the most popular destinations in the world as no other country on earth can offer the visitor as much to see and do.
