This is one of the most common questions we get at Zee Afri Tours — and the truth is, both parks offer completely different but equally magical experiences. Maasai Mara is Kenya’s most famous safari destination — home to the Great Wildebeest Migration, endless savannah plains, and a high chance of spotting the Big Five. It’s perfect if you want that classic African safari experience filled with action, adventure, and breathtaking wildlife encounters. 🌋 Amboseli, on the other hand, is known for its majestic herds of elephants set against the stunning backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. It’s more peaceful and intimate — ideal for travelers who love photography, scenic views, and serene game drives. ðŸ’Ą Our Take: If you want dramatic wildlife scenes and big cat sightings — choose Maasai Mara. If you prefer relaxed game drives with unbeatable landscapes — go for Amboseli. Or better yet — combine both for the ul...

  Buffalo – Africa’s Mighty & Resilient Grazers 1. General Description The African buffalo ( Syncerus caffer ), often called the Cape buffalo, is one of the continent’s most iconic and formidable animals. These powerhouses can weigh between 500 to 900 kilograms (1,100–2,000 lbs) and stand up to 1.7 meters (5.6 ft) tall at the shoulder. Their broad, heavy horns curve gracefully outward and then up, meeting in a solid, helmet-like shield known as a boss — a feature unique to mature males. Coated in dark brown or black fur, buffalo have a sturdy, muscular build perfectly adapted for survival in the wild. They thrive in savannas, swamps, grasslands, and forests and can be found in over 20 countries across sub-Saharan Africa , with strong populations in Kenya’s Maasai Mara, Tsavo, and Amboseli. 2.
