The Masai Mara National Reserve is located in southwestern Kenya, adjacent to Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Covering 1,510 square kilometers, the reserve is home to diverse wildlife, including lions, elephants, and cheetahs. Its landscapes range from open savannahs to forested areas, providing a rich habitat for various species.
