Masai Mara

African wildlife sanctuary

The Masai Mara is a large game reserve in southwestern Kenya, bordering Tanzania's Serengeti.

Famous for its exceptional wildlife—particularly the annual wildebeest migration—it draws safari tourists from around the world.

The name honors the Maasai people who have long inhabited the region and the Mara River that runs through it.
