Kenya: Part VI (Lake Nakuru)
Apr. 8th, 2011 04:34 pmFields outside of Masai Mara were dotted with wildebeests, a large antelope, also known as gnu. If you like watching wild life documentaries about Africa you probably have seen them during migration, when about two million of them move from Serengeti in Tanzania into Masai Mara in Kenya, crossing Mara river in the process and providing a great feast to the local crocodiles. Migration starts around July, high season for safaris, so we didn't get to see it, we just got to see some beasts that didn't move back to Serengeti yet for whatever reason.

February-March is a calving season for many animals which is why we got to see so many different young ones, including little wildebeesties.

( From the plains of Masai Mara we made our way to Lake Nakuru )
We only stayed at Nakuru overnight and left for Sweetwaters early in the morning.
