It is bounded by the Serengeti Park to the south, the Siria escarpment to the west, and the Maasai pastoral ranches to the north, east and west. Rainfall in the ecosystem increases markedly along a southeast–northwest gradient, varies in space and time, and is markedly bimodal. The Sand, Talek and Mara Rivers are the major rivers draining the reserve. Shrubs and trees fringe most drainage lines and cover hillslopes and hilltops.

Experience the great migration when a million wildebeest, each one driven by the same ancient rhythm, fulfills its instinctive role in the inescapable cycle of life. It is a frenzied three-week bout of territorial conquests, mating, and survival of the fittest as 40 km (25 mile) long columns plunge through crocodile-infested waters. They continue on their annual exodus north, replenishing the species in a brief population explosion that produces more than 8,000 calves daily. Then, the 1,000 km (600 mile) pilgrimage begins again.
