Masai Mara National Park is located in Kenya on the border with Tanzania. The park merges with the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania. This park derives its name from the local Maasai who inhabit the area. The park covers an area of about 1,510 square kilometers. One of the most frequent attractions here is the sandy Talek River and the Mara River, from which the park derives the second part of its name. These are the two rivers that drain this area. This also helps the Maasai who live here to graze their cattle and have water for them as well.

Oirowua, Maji Moto, Ol Derkesi, Kerinkani, Oloirien, Ol Chorro Oirowua, Olkinyei, Siana, Koiyaki, Lemek, and Kimintet Conservation Ranches are a few of them.
