The Maasai Mara, commonly known as the Mara, is one of
Kenya's most famous and iconic wildlife conservation areas, renowned for
its breathtaking landscapes and exceptional biodiversity. Located in the
southwest of Kenya, it is part of the larger Serengeti-Mara ecosystem,
which spans across both Kenya and Tanzania. The Mara covers
approximately 1,510 square kilometers (580 square miles) and is named
after the Maasai people, who have lived in the region for centuries, and
the Mara River that runs through it.The Maasai
Mara is famous for its rich wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lion,
leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros), and it serves as one of the
best places in the world to observe these animals in their natural
habitats. The reserve is particularly famous for the annual Great
Migration, when millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles migrate
from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Mara in Kenya, crossing the Mara
River in dramatic scenes, often with crocodiles lurking in the waters. |
