Kenya is the African country whose capital is Nairobi and whose territory includes the Maasai Mara National Reserve.
Nairobi is Kenya’s largest city and an important regional center for business, government, conservation, and tourism. The Maasai Mara lies in southwestern Kenya and forms the northern extension of the Serengeti ecosystem, although the Serengeti itself is in Tanzania.
The reserve is particularly famous for large populations of lions, cheetahs, elephants, and wildebeest. The annual movement of wildebeest between the Serengeti and Maasai Mara is often called the Great Migration. Kenya is sometimes confused with Tanzania in questions about East African wildlife because the two countries share the same ecosystem and border.
