Wildlife: Vast numbers of herbivores, including elephants, giraffes, zebras, gazelles and antelopes, graze the plentiful grasslands of the conservancy. Following the plethora of plains game are predators, such as lion, leopard and cheetah, often seen surveying the area for their next meal. The wildebeest migration also passes through Ol Kinyei when herds from the eastern plains of Loita join the migration to the Mara lands.
About the Ol Kinyei Conservancy

About the Maasai Mara Game Reserve
One of the most famous reserves in all of Africa, the Mara’s rolling savannahs, riverine woodlands, annual migration of millions of wildebeest, sheer density of predators and other game plus the tall red-robed Maasai people all combine to make this one of the most magical places on the continent.

Wildlife: Maasai Mara eco-system is home to the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle, the annual wildebeest migration. These grazers, together with zebra and Thompson’s gazelle traverse the eco-system through the year, and whilst there are resident animals in the Mara throughout (those that don’t migrate), numbers swell to gigantic proportions during the drier season, July/August to October/November. Of other herbivores, there are good concentrations of topi, impala, eland, dik dik, Grant’s gazelle, and waterbuck.
