问题     Maasai Mara is a part of the southwestern tourist circuit and the most popular and visited game reserve in Kenya. The annual wildebeest migration to Maasai Mara is the world’s greatest wildlife spectacle, something not to be missed especially if you’ re visiting Kenya between August and October. Millions of wildebeests, zebras and gazelles from the Serengeti plains migrate across the Tanzania border and the Mara River to reach Maasai Mata grazing fields from late June. The game reserve abounds with bird-life since close to about 452 odd species have been recorded.
    Maasai Mara has a good range of accommodation from five-star lodges to luxury-tended camps. To keep the tempo of your adventure going, Spartan tented camps and campsites within the game reserve are the best choice. Game walks and night game runs were tests to our bravery! Night fails quickly in the tropics and as the temperature drops, the campfire becomes the focus of your tour. You can keep count of the sightings of mammals, reptiles and birds.
    Insects and hyenas provide the background music while the night sky is a symphony of stars.
    Lake Naivasha, Magadi, Victoria and Elementaita are accessible from the Maasai Mara Game reserve. Kenya’s priceless treasury of wildlife owes its existence to contrasts in the country’ s terrain, which ranges from ruffed snow covered peaks of Mount Kenya, the Highland, the Great Rift Valley and its lakes as well as the sunburnt sands of the coast. Each of these geographical regions is home to different types of wildlife that are unique to each area.
    Kenya has an amazing wealth of bird life. We could get to see many bird species in Kenya. This again is due to its variety of habitats. Many migratory birds are also spotted here. According to our guide, more than six million birds migrate to Kenya during the Northern Hemisphere winter. These migrants along with the local species of birds make Kenya an ornithological paradise.
Why is there such a variety of wildlife in Kenya?

选项 A、Because there are many lakes in Kenya.
B、Because Kenya is a tropical country.
C、Because Kenya consists of different geographical regions.
D、Because Kenya has a game reserve.

答案C
