The park unites with Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park. The Maasai people that live in the park are the source of its name. The park is roughly 1,510 square kilometers in size. The sandy Talek River and the Mara River, which give the park its second name, are two of the most popular sights here. The two rivers that drain this region are these ones. This makes it easier for the local Maasai people to provide water and pasture for their cattle.
