The Maasai Mara National Reserve (also spelled Masai Mara; known by the locals as The Mara) is a largest and most famous game reserve Kenya, contiguous with the Serengeti National Park in Mara Region, Tanzania. It is named in honor of the Maasai people (the ancestral inhabitants of the area) and their description of the area when looked at from afar: "Mara", which is Maa (Maasai language) for "spotted," an apt description for the circles of trees, scrub, savanna, and cloud shadows that mark the area.
House in the Wild Set in on the edge of the beautiful Olerai Farm at the north end of the Mara game reserves and conservancies lies the house in the wild, which it surely is- perched ontop of the banks of the famous Mara River on a sharp bend are a number of sleeper cottages and charming communal areas all set around a well kept, grass lawn.
