Wildlife
History
The Masai Mara Reserve was established in the 1960s to protect grassland wildlife and sits on lands historically used by Maasai pastoralists whose seasonal grazing shaped the plains.
Conservation
Community conservancies around the reserve work with lodges and guides to fund anti-poaching and support Maasai land-use plans; visitors can help by choosing operators that contribute to local conservation.
