One hundred miles outside of Nairobi, a gigantic pilgrimage of over 450 animal species flood into the northern Serengeti from July to September to feast on the lush, green grasses of Kenya's Masai Mara National Reserve. Lions and cheetas, zebras and elephants, rhinos and gazelles along with wildebeests and buffalo come crashing into the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, creating the world's most stunning annual animal migration. The impressive scene attracts hordes of photographers and safari tourists, who come to stand in awe as zebra and elephants cautiously care for their young, struggling to protect them from the stalking leopards and crocodiles, who prey on the young and weak. In September, after the feeding frenzy comes to an end, the migratory herds begin their long journey to the Ngorongoro plains and the southern Serengeti. There, the animals gather their strength in preparation for the next stomping migration six months later.
