East Africa is renowned for offering visitors the chance to spot some of the world’s most iconic wildlife species in their natural habitats.
The Serengeti-Mara ecosystem covers around 30,000 km² of Kenya and Tanzania (about the size of Belgium) and encompasses a wide range of habitats. No wonder it is home to Africa’s highest variety and concentration of wildlife. Among the best-known animal groupings you can spot, there are the Big 5 (rhinoceros, elephant, buffalo, lion, and leopard) and the African big cats (cheetah, leopard, and lion).
