Malindi also has a Marine National Park and further a snake park and a falconry, with a large number of caged birds of prey, tortoises, and chimps.

Kenya 's most spectacular annual event is organised by an unlikely group - wildebeests. Literally hundreds of thousands of these ungainly antelopes move north en masse in July and August from the Serengeti Game Reserve to the Masai Mara Game Reserve in search of lush grass . They head south again around October. The best place to see this phenomenon is in the Masai Mara National Reserve.
