The Maasai Mara National park

The Maasai Mara, also spelled Masai Mara and locally referred to as "The Mara," is a vast national game reserve located in Narok, Kenya, bordering Tanzania's Serengeti National Park. Renowned as one of Africa's premier wildlife conservation and wilderness areas, the Maasai Mara is home to thriving populations of lions, leopards, cheetahs, and African bush elephants. It is also famous for hosting the Great Migration, an extraordinary natural event that has earned the reserve recognition as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of Africa and one of the Ten Wonders of the World. The Greater Mara ecosystem includes the Maasai Mara National Reserve, the Mara Triangle, several Maasai group ranches, and various Maasai Mara conservancies.
