Masai Mara offers a unique variety of animals. This hilly region is both humid and fertile as the rivers Mara and Talek carry water the whole year round. These rivers are full of crocodiles and hippos, with their banks covered in thick forest which gradually makes way for bush and grassland. The abundance of water and food are the reasons for the Masai Mara hosting so many animals. The Masai Mara is in fact a continuance of the Tanzanian Serengeti National Park and has the greatest population of wild animals in the whole of Africa. There is a particularly dramatic spectacle, the annual migration of huge herds of gnus and zebras, that takes place between July and November.
