Mara River

The Mara River is a significant waterway in East Africa, flowing through Kenya and Tanzania. It plays a vital role in supporting local ecosystems, providing water for wildlife and communities. Notably, it hosts the famous annual migration of wildebeests and other animals, which cross the river in search of fresh grazing grounds. The river's health is essential for maintaining biodiversity and sustaining the livelihoods of people who depend on its resources. It also faces challenges from human activities and climate change, making conservation efforts crucial for its future.
