Masai Mara
Wildebeest Migration
"The seventh greatest wonder in the world". It is now officially
known through out the world. Many have come back time and again.
They have witnessed this mass movement of wild animals roaming
free through unspoiled and savage wilderness. The air fills with
the click- click of the cameras tirelessly. You have not seen
something like this before.Maasai Mara Serengeti Wilderbeest
Migration Safari
Africa is changing at a quick pace and human encroachment into
the wildlife reserves has continued to erase the traditional
routes. In association with development and changes of the way
of life, the image of wildlife roaming free is slowly getting
erased. Fortunately, Masai Mara National reserve holds on to its
charisma of an open, limitless land. It is one of the places in
Africa that still prides in wildlife concentration.
Masai Mara is located in the South-western of Kenya, 290
kilometers from Nairobi. The abundance of wildlife and the
remoteness of the reserve implants memories that no money can
buy.
The Migration is a recent phenomenon (60's and 70's was the
biggest boom) with about 250,000
individuals. Gradually, with time the number has risen to the
current population of over 3,000,000
individuals. Add to it an estimated 1,500,000 Zebras and the
result is one of the most magnificent scenes in the world. The
massive display attracts hundreds of big cats as the populations
provide abundant prey. The giant African crocodiles lie in wait,
patiently, as the big herds come to cross the river or to drink.
It is the masai community who are not so pleased with the whole
phenomenon. The wildebeests compete with their huge herds of
boran cattle for the grasslands. To them, it is a big calamity
especially because the wildebeests transmit diseases to their
herds and poison the waters with their fetal sacs.
This world famous migration is a circle of life which, in simple
terms, means that there isn't a
start or an end. Only where the herds are located at a
particular time. The big determinant is the
availability of pastures. The plains of Ngorongoro Conservation
Area in Serengeti are a favored spot as grass abounds and the
wildebeest find a safe place to graze. It is also here that over
500,000 new calves are born and many are taken by the nearby
waiting Jackals or Hyenas. Maasai Mara Wilderbeest Migration
Safari From Serengeti
New borns have little time to strengthen their legs. As soon
after birth, the “pilgrim" continues. By April, the rains are
over in southern Serengeti and the plains have dried up. The
great herds then
gather and face the long march northwards and westwards. The
natural lawn mowers abandon
the exhausted grasslands of southern Serengeti to head for the
already tall grass of the Western
corridor, near the shores of Lake Victoria.
The pioneers of the migration movement are the majestic herds of
zebras. They prefer the long
stems of the coarse grass. This way, they leave behind shorter
grass which is favored by the wildebeests.
In late June to July the mass start pouring into the Kenya Masai
Mara reserve where fresh, tender
and mineral-rich grass is already waiting. Here they meet the
resident Mara populations which
add up to about 150,000. Also commonly referred to as the Loita
plains herds, they spend most of the season northeast of the
Mara. When it gets dry, they pour into the interior of the Mara
in search of greener pastures.
The migrating herds spend roughly 3 to 31/2 months in the Mara
crossing through Sand River, which is a tributary of the Mara
along the boundary of Kenya and Tanzania. They trek westwards
and cross the Mara river and sometimes the Talek river. Usually
around this time heavy rains on the Mau Escarpment (origin of
Mara River) fill the Mara river to the brim.
This is a good time to watch the trunk-looking Crocodiles, while
they await the forthcoming feast.
Finally, the gnus (wildebeests) venture into the river. This
gregarious coordinated behavior of the herds, usually teamed
with zebras, creates an unimaginable scene. Just what the
cameras have been waiting for.
They wander along the river looking for a convenient crossing
point. This is a moment
filled with tension for both the gnus(wildebeests) and the
audience. They survey for a less steep and with no obvious
danger. Finally, one takes courage and plunges into the river
and magically the rest falls onto the footsteps and in one
organized line cross the river.
In addition to the crocodiles, accidents also occur. The river’s
current can be too strong for some especially the young ones. Or
simply getting stuck between the rocks in the river and breaking
limbs, a direct ticket to the jaws of the giant crocodiles.
Finally, the crossing is done and the trek to their unknown (or
known)destiny continues.
Maasai mara Serengeti wilderbeest migration SafariIn the month
of October, they are already heading to Serengeti where the
rains have treated the southern grasslands to lush, green carpet
of rich grass. Once again, they are heading to the southern
plains, where a new generation will be born to start the cycle
of life all over again.
WILDEBEEST MIGRATION SAFAR
Masai Mara is the most famous wildlife conservation area in
Kenya and indeed the world. This game reserve is home to an
amazing variety of wildlife in a natural and untouched state.
Masai Mara has a rolling savannah landscape dotted with patchy
shrubs and bush thickets,and is the Kenyan part of the large
ecosystem stretching south to Serengeti in Tanzania.
[See our Masai Mara Lodge Safari].
The wildlife in Masai Mara is varied, ranging from the big cats
to elephant, rhino and vast herds of herbivores such as
wildebeest. A true animal kingdom if there ever was one.
Browse our Masai Mara Safaris as well as other Kenya Safaris and
accomodation.
Masai Mara Safari
There are several safari options by road to the Masai Mara.
Usually, these start from Nairobi, and include a scenic 5 to 6
hour drive down to the Sekenani gate or to the North West part
of the reserve.
Accomodation is in lodges which offer quality service, rooms,
and usually excellent buffet meals on a full board basis.
Safaris are usually for a minimum of 2 nights and 3 days,
although it is possible to have a quick one night safari here as
well, although this is too short to really sample the magic of
the Masai Mara. Flying Safaris to Mara are also available.

Maasai children - behind them is a mud hut known as a "manyatta"The
Maasai Tribe
This warrior tribe of nomadic pastrolists are descendants of
Nilotic and Cushitic people originally from north of Lake
Turkana over 10 centuries ago. Their life is dominated by their
herds of their cattle and livestock.
They often move hundreds of kilometers with large herds of
livestock in search of water and rich pastures. The Masai diet
is based on fresh curdled milk and meat from their livestock.
Centuries ago the Maasai were feared as ruthless conquerors and
cattle rustlers who invaded other tribal areas in search of
bigger grazing land and more cattle. The Maasai are also famous
for drinking a mixture of cattle blood and milk during
ceremonial rites. An arrow is shot at close range to punture the

Conservation in the Masai Mara
The Masai Mara has a strong but vulnerable eco system with thousands of
tourists annually visiting the reserve , putting huge pressure on the
environment. Conservation in the Mara is of paramount importance, and has
been targetted at preservation of the wildlife and environment.
.
Like most third world countries, Kenya has growing land pressure issues,
with the increasing population ever searching for more land to live and
cultivate on. The Mara has it's share of land-animal-population conflict.
This is an issue being taken up by government, conservation bodies and
NGO's. Funds are a major problem when it comes to conservation
Lake Nakuru
is one of the Rift Valley soda lakes. It lies to the south of Nakuru, in
central Kenya and is protected by a small Lake Nakuru National Park.

Greater and Lesser Flamingos flock to the lake.
Greater and Lesser Flamingos flock to the lake.
The lake's abundance of algae attracts the vast quantity of flamingos that
famously lines the shore.
Other birds also flourish in the area, as do warthogs, baboons and other
large mammals. Black and White rhinos have also been introduced.
The lake's level dropped dramatically in the early 1990s but has since
largely recovered.
Nakuru means "Dust or Dusty Place" in Maasai language. Lake Nakuru National
Park, close to Nakuru town, was established in 1961. It started off small,
only encompassing the famous lake and the surrounding mountainous vicinity.
Now it has been extended to include a large part of the savannahs.
Lake Nakuru National Park
Lake Nakuru National Park (188 km˛), created in 1961 around Lake Nakuru,
near Nakuru Town. It is best known for its thousands, sometimes millions of
flamingos nesting along the shores. The surface of the shallow lake is often
hardly recognizable due to the continually shifting mass of pink. The number
of flamingoes on the lake varies with water and food conditions and the best
vantage point is from Baboon Cliff. Also of interest is an area of 188 km
around the lake fenced off as a sanctuary to protect Rothschild giraffes and
black rhinos.
Lake Nakuru, a small (it varies from 5 to 45 square kilometers) shallow
alkaline lake on the southern edge of the town of Nakuru lies about 160
kilometers north of Nairobi. It can therefore be visited in a day tour from
the capital or more likely as part of a circuit taking in the Masai Mara or
Lake Baringo and east to Samburu. The lake is world famous as the location
of the greatest bird spectacle on earth - myriads of fuchsia pink flamingos
whose numbers are legion, often more than a million - or even two million.
They feed on the abundant algae, which thrives in the warm waters.
Scientists reckon that the flamingo population at Nakuru consumes about
250,000 kilos of algae |

WILDEBEEST
MIGRATION SEASONS
The Wildebeest Migration in East Africa, also known as “The
Great Migration” takes place between Kenya's Masai Mara and
Tanzania's Serengeti National Park and is one of the greatest
wildlife spectacles on the planet. Thousands of wildebeest and
zebra’s migrate between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara,
constantly driven by their search for fresh grazing. The massive
herds are closely followed by predators (lion, hyena and
cheetah), making the most of every opportunity to catch their
next meal.

The precise timing of the annual wildebeest migration depends on
the rains. It is a very unpredictable and spontaneous natural
event, with calving season taking place in the Serengeti between
January and mid-March. The wildebeest migration starts to head
towards the Western Serengeti in May or June.
The best time to see the migration is generally between June and
August when the wildebeest congregate
and prepare to cross the famous Grumeti River. If you are in the
Masai Mara you can expect the wildebeest to make their arrival
as early as July, but they generally arrive between August &
September and remain in the Masai Mara between October &
November. Between the end of November and January the wildebeest
gradually begin their migration from the Masai Mara back towards
the Serengeti.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Climbing Routes
Marangu Route 8 Days Affectionately known as the "Coca-Cola
route", Marangu is by far the most popular route to the summit
of Kilimanjaro. This could partly be as a result of the fact
that the Marangu is the least expensive route, but more so,
perhaps the fact that it is possible to do the Marangu route in
6 days, thereby getting to the summit one day earlier than on
the Machame route.
Machame Route Sometimes called the Whisky Route. This is a
popular route up steep paths through magnificent forests to gain
a ridge leading through the moorland zones to the Shira Plateau.
It then traverses beneath the glaciated precipices of the
Southern Icefields to join the Barafu Route to the summit.
Umbwe Route
The Umbwe route is one of the
shortest routes to the Southern Glaciers and the Western Breach.
It is probably the most scenic, non-technical route on
Kilimanjaro. It is quite taxing, primarily due to the relatively
fast ascent to higher altitude, but the rewards are plentiful.
Lemosho Route
This is the longest and most remote
route to Kilimanjaro. After beautiful forests and moorlands it
crosses the Shira Plateau to meet up with the Machame Route.
Groups may be accompanied on the first day by an armed ranger as
the forests around the Lemosho Glades are rich in buffalo,
elephant and other game.
Rongai Route
This remote and less frequently used route is the second easiest
route to Kilimanjaro. The approach to the mountain is from the
less-forested north side and the descent is by the Marangu
Route. There are several variations, the one described below is
a longer route taking in Mawenzi Tarn.
Shira Route
The Shira route, approaches
Kilimanjaro’s summit from the west and crosses the caldera of
Shira Volcano before heading beneath the southern ice fields of
Kibo. The route is seldom used by other trekkers and so your
initial two days on the mountain are less crowded than on most
other routes.

Mount Kenya Climbing At 5,199 m, Mount Kenya is the second
highest peak in Africa. It is an ancient extinct volcano, during
whose period of activity (3.1–2.6 million years ago) it is
thought to have risen to 6,500 m. There are 12 remnant glaciers
on the mountain, all receding rapidly, and four secondary peaks
that sit at the head of the U-shaped glacial valleys. With its
rugged glacier-clad summits and forested middle slopes, Mount
Kenya is one of the most impressive landscapes in East Africa.
The evolution and ecology of its afro-alpine flora also provide
an outstanding example of ecological processes. There are three
main routes, which penetrate the forest and the moorland. The
routes are Naromoru, Sirimon and Chogoria and each of which has
something different to offer. Naromoru is the fastest route to
point Lenana but not as scenic as the other two. Mt. Kenya's
Nelion Summit, Batian Summit and Point Lenana

Mount Kenya
Climbing Routes
-
Sirimon down Sirimon A more gradual trek to the
summit, traversing areas of rich forest cover before
emerging into the sprawling moorlands. This hike is
usually rated as the easiest among the short trips and
is quite popular with persons attempting to reach an
altitude exceeding 4000m for the first time. It is a
good choice for large trekking groups as it follows the
same trail up and down, making it convenient for those
who are unable to reach the summit to stay behind at
lower camps to wait for the rest of the group to
complete the trip then descend together. Unless
preferred, camping is not necessary as accommodation is
available in a lodge and mountain huts throughout the
trip.
Mt Kenya Climb Sirimon down Chogoria On this Mount Kenya
climbing experience, you ascend via the dry and little used
Sirimon Trail and descend on the scenic Chogoria Trail. You
reach point Lenana (4985 m), the highest point accessible to
walkers, and return to base. Mount Kenya is Africa's second
highest mountain. Above the habitable altitude, you find a
rainforest zone, abundant with many tree species and wildlife
too. Further up is open moorland, and beyond is the snow line
where vegetation is sparse. Finding snow on the equator was a
great surprise for the first Europeans to get to East Africa.
Sirimon down Narumoru The Naro Moru route is the fastest
and therefore also the most popular route onto the mountain,
being used by many of the tour and outfitting companies guiding
clients up to Point Lenana.
Mount Meru Climbing Mount Meru is one of Africa's most
beautiful volcanoes, and it is the second highest mountain in
Tanzania at 4,5685m, the third highest in Africa.
The mountain is located within Arusha National Park, Tanzania’s
gem. This prime location gives walkers the opportunity to spot
some of the birds and wildlife that inhabit the area. The ascend
is quite steep, the route to the summit passes over streams,
through parkland, montane forest, a giant heather zone and
moorland. The summit is reached by a narrow, barren ridge, which
provides stunning views of the Ash Cone lying several thousand
feet below in the crater. Weather permitting, Kilimanjaro can be
seen in the West. There are two huts available to climbers on
the mountain and firewood is supplied. The best time to climb
Meru is between October and February. But also June to
September, while it is colder then.

tented camps, with well appointed rooms, excellent
cuisine and deluxe facilities such as bars and swimming
