All these distinct animals have made the Maasai Mara so well known around the world. The most spectacular event of the natural world takes place with the migration of millions of wildebeests and zebras - coming to the Maasai Mara region from the Serengeti in search of water. Following these animals are the predators of the savanna - from lions to cheetahs, to wild dogs, to hyenas and other vultures. Also: explore Amboseli National Park and Lake Nakuru
