Overview:
Kenya has considerable land area of wildlife habitat, including the Masai Mara, where blue wildebeest and other bovids participate in a large scale annual migration. Up to 250,000 blue wildebeest perish each year in the long and arduous movement to find forage in the dry season. The
"Big Five"
animals of Africa can also be found in Kenya: the lion, leopard,
buffalo, rhinoceros and elephant. A significant population of
other wild animals, reptiles and birds can be found in the
national parks and game reserves in the country.
Tanzania
is mountainous in the north-east, where
Mount Kilimanjaro, Africa's highest peak, is situated. To
the north and west are the Great Lakes of Lake Victoria
(Africa's largest lake) and Lake Tanganyika (Africa's deepest
lake, known for its unique species of fish). Central Tanzania
comprises a large plateau, with plains and arable land. The island of Zanzibar
lays just offshore.
