The Maasai Mara lies on Savannah that shares ecological continuity with the Serengeti; Maasai communities have grazed cattle here for centuries and retain strong cultural presence along reserve edges.
Conservation
The reserve relies on community partnerships and controlled tourism to fund anti-poaching and habitat projects; visitors should minimize plastic use and follow guide rules to reduce disturbance.

Layer for morning drives

Follow guide instructions
Always stay in the vehicle and obey guide distance rules—these keep you safe and minimize stress on wildlife.
