The greatest animal miracle in the world-the great migration of animals in East Africa

At your request, I would like to introduce the Masai Mara Nature Reserve in Kenya.

Masai Mara National Reserve is located in the border area between southwest Kenya and Tanzania, and is connected with Serengeti Animal Reserve in Tanzania. The nature reserve was built in 196 1 year, with an area of 1800 square kilometers. There are many animals in the nature reserve, including about 95 species of mammals and 450 species of birds. This is one of the best wildlife reserves in the world.

Introduction to the Great Migration of Animals:

Masai Mara Wildlife Nature Reserve, namely Masai Mara National Park, is the largest and most popular national park in Kenya, covering an area of 1.800 square kilometers and facing the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania across the river. The great migration of wild animals from September every year to June of the following year (5438+ 10) takes place between these two parks. Therefore, it has become a kingdom of wild animals. It is difficult to see five kinds of African animals at the same time: elephants, lions, leopards, rhinoceroses and buffaloes, while countless antelopes, giraffes, hippos, baboons and wolves roam the grasslands day and night. This is the most concentrated habitat for animals and the most colorful wasteland. Here, people and nature, people and animals live in harmony, unique primitive culture and fairyland-like beauty of grassland sunrise and sunset can make modern people who have lived in the city for a long time forget all the pressures and troubles, fully integrate into the wonderful nature, and feel a kind of relaxation and happiness of returning. The Mara River is home to many Nile crocodiles and hippos, and it is also the lifeline of wild mammals.

Every year, the greatest natural wonder in the world is staged in Masai Mara, which is the world-famous animal migration. 10 From July to June, Masai Mara, located in the north, bred fresh grassland and fragrant grass, which deeply attracted1300,000 wildebeests who originally lived in Serengeti in the south, making them gather into the largest mobile group in the animal world. Moreover, they are not afraid of the fierce crocodile in the water, crossing the river and entering a new world. They crossed the border of Tanken, entered the open Masai Mara, and poured in like waves on the vast horizon. Such a scene also created a unique and unparalleled wildebeest (wildebeest) migration.

The main attractions of Masai Mara

1, Masai Mara National Park (Mara River)

As we all know, Africa is a paradise for wildlife, and Masai Mara National Park is a bright pearl in this paradise. Among many wildlife reserves in Kenya, Masai Mara National Park is the "crown of gardens". This is a special national park because it spans Kenya and neighboring Tanzania with a total area of 4,000 square kilometers. Kenya 1500 square kilometers, and Tanzania covers an area of 2,500 square kilometers.

Every year from June to 10, tourists come in an endless stream, in order to worship the magnificent scene of the lion king leading his animals to migrate on the African prairie. From Salinger Grassland in Tanzania to Masai Mara in Kenya, herds of zebras are running briskly, wildebeests in Qian Qian are raising dust on the grassland, and there are jumping antelopes, bulky rhinoceroses and leisurely elephants ... At this moment, you may find yourself in the animation world of The Lion King. Another scenic spot here is the Mara River. This river changes greatly all year round: in the dry season, it may only trickle and look dying; But in the rainy season, it began to run endlessly, washing away all the uneven land on the grassland.

Travel advice: This wonderful area is definitely worth your long stay. It is recommended to attend Safari for 2-3 days and watch animal migration accompanied by local guides.

2. Sabah

Sabah National Park, which was originally unremarkable, became famous in Wan Li because it became the shooting place for African survivors. It is similar to other national parks in Kenya. If you are a TV fan, it is still worth visiting.

3. Marseille village

This is the settlement of Masai, an ancient traditional race in East Africa. They may be the most primitive tribe in the world. Up to now, the Masai people still maintain their ancient living habits. They seem to have lived tens of thousands of years ago, and their clothes and living habits are no different from those of primitive people. For thousands of years, they still live in peace with wild animals and realize the complete unity of man and nature.

Although the living habits of Maasai people are isolated from the world, the development of modern tourism has also changed their original pace of life. The tourism projects specially developed by Masai Mara to visit Masai villages are in full swing, including tour guides and village visits. Interested tourists can buy some locally made jewelry, but the price is expensive. Generally speaking, this kind of tour is suitable for tourists who like exotic customs.
