Adjacent to Tanzania's Serengeti and forming one integrated ecosystem, the Masai Mara covers 1,812km² (700mi²) of vast rolling plains, hills, and woodland groves bisected by the Mara River. The reserve is home to huge herds of grazing animals and predators, including Africa's largest population of lions, along with elephants, buffalo and abundant birdlife. The Masai Mara is the stage for the annual great migration, when wildebeest attempt river crossings in endless processions across the plains.
