Masai Mara National Reserve
Quick Summary
The Masai Mara National Reserve is a large wildlife reserve located in southwestern Kenya, bordering Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. This region is renowned for its vast grasslands and acacia woodlands, supporting an immense population of plains animals.1
The reserve is most famous for the annual Great Migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles move between the Serengeti and the Masai Mara in search of fresh grazing. This spectacular event draws numerous predators, including lions, leopards, and cheetahs, making it a prime destination for wildlife viewing. The area is also home to rhinos, elephants, and a rich diversity of birdlife.123
