The Mara Triangle

Historical Background
The Mara Triangle covers an area of 520 Square Kilometres and is located on the western end of the reserve, neighboring Kerinkani, Olorien and Kimintet Group ranches.
The Mara Triangle made up of the western third of the Maasai Mara National Reserve that   stretches from the border of the Siria (Oloololo) Escarpment south to the Tanzanian boundary and east to the Mara River. It is one of the finest to be during the annual Wildebeest Migration as the animals cross the crocodile ridden Mara River in their thousands. The Mara Triangle was the initial area of the reserve until 1992 when the Narok County Council added a further 1,000 square kilometers to include two former group ranches, Sekenani and Musiara that trebled the original size of the reserve.

 This part of the Mara falls under the Trans Mara District. The Musiara and Sekenani are part of Narok District and falls under the administration of the Narok County Council. The Mara Triangle is managed by The Mara Conservancy, a private Non Profit Organization. A certain proportion of revenue collected through park fees by the Mara Conservancy is paid direct to the communities that live on the border of the reserve.
