The endless plains as described by the Masai are home to the wildebeests that are highly sought after animals during their calving season and migrating season.
The park is a continuation of the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya. This makes it easy for the wildebeest to move to Kenya in the dry season in search of water and greener grass.
