East Africa on the other hand is a melting pot of cultures with the famous Masai and Samburu to name a few. It is also home to one of the greatest natural spectacles on earth, the annual wildebeest migration, where over one million wildebeest trek in columns of up to 40 kilometers long in search of grazing. The mystical and mighty Ngorongoro Crater is a place of spectacular beauty, while the endless grass plains of the Masai Mara and Serengeti provide thrilling encounters with Africa’s big game animals.
