 🦓🌍 The Great Wildebeest Migration – Nature’s Greatest Show at the Maasai Mara 🐃🌿 Experience the thrill with Zee Afri Tours! Every year, over 1.5 million wildebeests, along with zebras, gazelles, and other grazers, take part in one of the most spectacular wildlife events on Earth – the Great Wildebeest Migration. This epic journey spans across the Serengeti in Tanzania and the Maasai Mara in Kenya, making it one of Africa’s most iconic safari experiences. 🌟 What is the Wildebeest Migration?

Fun Fact Monday with Zee Afri Tours! Did you know? Hyenas are more closely related to cats than dogs! Despite their dog-like appearance and behavior, hyenas actually belong to a unique family (Hyaenidae) and share a more recent common ancestor with cats. Also, they’re incredible hunters—not just scavengers as many believe! That “laugh” you hear is actually a way hyenas communicate excitement, nervousness, or frustration. Each hyena's giggle is unique, almost like a voiceprint! So next time you're out on safari and hear laughing in the bushes… don’t assume it's your guide cracking jokes! Join us on safari and see these fascinating creatures in action!

 🦁 Fun Fact About Lions: When a lion roars, it can be heard from up to 8 kilometers (5 miles) away ! Lions roar to communicate with their pride, mark territory, or warn rivals. It’s like sending a powerful message across the savannah — “This is my turf!” The roar of the lion in your photo is a perfect example of this majestic sound in action.

 This is an African buffalo, also known as the Cape buffalo ( Syncerus caffer ), one of Africa’s "Big Five" game animals! Fun fact: Despite looking like a large, lumbering grazer, the African buffalo is one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. They are responsible for more deaths of big game hunters on the continent than any other mammal! When threatened, buffaloes have been known to ambush and charge predators — including humans — and can remember the faces of those who have threatened them. Bonus: That thick shield-like structure at the base of the horns is called a “boss,” and in males, it’s so tough that it can deflect bullets!
