About Maasai Mara

Maasai Mara, also known as the Maasai Mara National Reserve, is a wildlife reserve situated in southwestern Kenya. It is named after the Maasai people and the Mara River that divides it. The Maasai Mara is famous for its diverse wildlife population, including large numbers of lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, zebras, and wildebeests.

The Maasai Mara is a popular tourist destination and attracts visitors from all over the world who come to witness the incredible wildlife and natural beauty of the area.
