About Maasai Mara National Reserve
The Maasai Mara is a vast reserve of open grassland in south-west Kenya, famed for its lions, elephants and the great wildebeest migration.
The Maasai Mara National Reserve covers rolling grassland, scattered acacia and river forest in south-west Kenya, and borders the Serengeti in Tanzania. Its name comes from the Maasai people and from mara, a word in their language for spotted, which describes the dotted look of its trees and bushes. The Mara River runs through it, holding hippos and crocodiles, and the Oloololo escarpment marks its western edge.
