Maasi Mara National Park is an extension of the Serengeti of Tanzania, which forms a wildlife corridor between Kenya and Tanzania. Maasi Mara is the most resplendent game reserve bordering Tanzania. It was named after the striking Maasi people who have resided within the park with their animals for centuries.

From July to October, the Maasi Mara National Park is famous for the massive migration of thousands of wildebeest, gazelle, and zebra to and from the Serengeti. 

The Mara River is home to crocodiles and hippos, but Maasi Mara National Reserve is also known for spectacular predator sightings due to its large populations of cheetahs, leopards, and lions, which can be seen from December to February.
