The Maasai Mara National Reserve (MMNR) is located
in southern Kenya, adjacent to the Serengeti National Park across
the national border in Tanzania. Together these two protected areas
cover more than 1.6 million hectares (approximately 4 million
acres), with MMNR accounting for 151,000 hectares (approximately
373,000 acres) (United Nations Environment Programme and World
Conservation Monitoring Centre). MMNR is comprised of two regions,
the Mara Triangle west of the Mara River and a newer portion to the
east of the River.
