Established in 1961 to protect wildlife, Maasai Mara National Reserve, also known as Grand Mara, is one of Kenya's largest tourist destinations.
Nowhere in the world there n & # 39; is a movement of & # 39; animals as immense as migration wildebeest: the flock must cross the Mara River at Maasai Mara where crocodiles in the water are waiting to attack them. Visitors from all over the world camp a few meters from the edge of the Mara River for several days, to get a glimpse of the show, but how do the animals know their way from Serengeti to this point of passage in Kenya? o ecologists, their course is dictated mainly by their response to the weather. They follow the rains and the growth of new grasses. At the end of October, herds head south to Tanzania when the first rains fall on the plains of Serengeti. At that time, most wildebeest have conceived. In January of the following year, approximately 600,000 to 800,000 calves were born. The period of annual birth is a treat for predators.
