The Maasai Mara National Reserve is one of Africa's most famous wildlife reserves, located in southwestern Kenya. Covering an area of approximately 1,510 square kilometers, the reserve is part of the larger Mara-Serengeti ecosystem. It is renowned for its exceptional population of wildlife, including the "Big Five" (lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhinoceros). More than 40% of Africa's larger mammals can be found here. The reserve is also a paradise for birdwatchers, with over 450 bird species recorded in the area. The Maasai Mara National Reserve is particularly famous for one of the most spectacular wildlife shows on earth - the Great Wilderbeest Migration, where millions of wildebeest and zebras migrate from the Serengeti in Tanzania to the Mara in search of greener pastures, typically occurring between July and October.
