Drive to the edges of the lake to view thousands of birds feeding in the alkaline water, see the sweeping view from the top of Baboon Rocks, then look for warthogs and waterbucks as you leave the park.

At the northern extremity of the unique Serengeti ecosystem, blessed with a permanent water supply, the Maasai Mara has a flourishing, permanent population of plains game, inflated in the dry season by the migration of more than 3 million gnus and zebras from the vast, parched Serengeti plains. Of the hunter's "big five," lions, elephants, buffalos and leopard are quite common, while even the much rarer rhino might come out of the thicket for you if you are lucky. Hyenas are plentiful and the cheetahs.
