The park contains a rich diversity of habitats including woodland, bush, grass and rocky escarpments. The park is established as a rhino sanctuary and is also home to leopard, lion, buffalo and giraffe. Masai Mara is the most famous national park in the world. It is home to a variety of game and scenery, but everything is big in the Mara. In every direction there are seemingly endless herds of game animals. Apart from the 'Big five', the Masai Mara is famous for the annual Wildebeest migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebra and gazelle leave the plains of the Serengeti in search of fresh grazing. The Mara is also home to elephant, black rhino, lion, cheetah and leopard. The Wildebeest migration takes place in July and August. Amboseli is renowned for its large herds of elephants and views of Mount Kilimanjaro. The rugged terrain of Taita Hills is home to over 300 species of bird and more famously to big cats such as leopard and lion.
