And so for the big five: elephant, lion, buffalo, leopard, and rhino.
The park is the staging zone for one of the most spectacular events in the natural world- the annual migration of wildebeest. This commences around June when over 1 million wildebeest, zebra and gazelle head for the Maasai Mara in Kenya in search of pasture.
