Spread in an area of 1500 square km, the Masai Mara National Reserve is the Savannah wilderness area that is maintained in Kenya southwest, along the Tanzania border. Located as Mara, reserves are home to abundant wildlife and endless plains. The official National Reserve website reports that Mara Mara Masai is known for the highest concentration of wild animals in the world because more than 40% larger mammals in Africa can be found here
Masai Mara was named to respect the Maasai people, ancestral population in the area. The word maasai (maa) “mara” means “visible.” It will not be difficult to understand how Masai Mara gets his name once you visit the region. Short and dense trees scattered around the area provide a rather “visible” appearance.
