The Maasai Mara National
Reserve is a large game reserve in Narok County, Kenya, contiguous with the
Serengeti National Park in Mara Region, Tanzania. It is named in honor of the
Maasai people for "spotted," an apt description for the circles of trees, scrub,
savanna, and cloud shadows that mark the area.
It is globally famous for its exceptional population of lions, leopards and cheetahs, game, and the annual migration of zebra, Thomson's gazelle, and wildebeest to and from the Serengeti every year from July to October, known as the Great Migration.
