Overview
When we use the word “big cat,” we refer to the members of the genus Panthera; lion, tiger, jaguar, and Leopard; the cougar and cheetah are not Panthera, though they are referred to as big cats too.
Three of those mentioned above, “big cats, Lion, Leopard, and cheetah, are found in Kenya’s National parks and reserves.
Visitors to the Safari Park in Kenya have the great migration in mind; however, Kenya has more attractions than just the Great migration. The famous King of the jungle (lion) is among the big cats found in Kenya. Specifically, Masai Mara boasts 3 of the famous big cats (lion, Leopard, cheetah).
LION: Masai mara has a population of more than 1000 lion families, making the park the big cats attraction; the lion is the most feared and known as the King of the jungle. No matter what time of the year you visit Kenya Masai mara, you will not miss “The king of the jungle.”
LEORPAD:
The Lepard is considered the most beautiful and elegant cat; unlike lions, leopards are skilled climbers—during the day, you find them on a tree and rocky mountains. On a big cat safari in Kenya, you can see leopards in many habitats; dense forests, rocky cliffs, and vast grasslands.
The Leopard is known to be a night hunter, and you can see it in action in the evening before you end your day safari.
CHEETAH: Known as the fastest animals on the land, cheetahs live in the grassland and can be found in many safari parks in Kenya. Taking advantage of their speed, cheetahs can catch almost anything they target. After the catch, it takes some time before eating to regain momentum after the rate. Cheetahs can run at 100 kilometers per hour.
Like the other big cats in Africa, the cheetah is an enemy to the poachers because of its beautiful skin. ISo me, and I can say no to poachers and support the locals who protect the cats.
