One of the most well-known and visited reserves in Africa is Masai Mara, where millions of animals may be viewed during the annual wildebeest migration. You will still witness hundreds of animals at other times. Thomson's gazelle, giraffe, topi, impala, and wildebeest are all across the plains. Leopard, lion, hyena, cheetah, jackal, and bat-eared fox are also frequently sighted. Although they can be elusive and reticent, black rhinos are frequently observed from a distance. The wildebeest move from Tanzania's Serengeti plains to the Masai Mara in July, August, and September.
