The Mara management plan

In a bid to strengthen the National Reserve, the Narok County Government launched three policy documents namely: 1) The Maasai Mara Management plan, 2) Spatial Plan 3) Greater Mara ecosystem plan to be used between 2023- 2032. The ten-year plan is a significant milestone in the development and management of the National Reserve as it reflects the diverse interests, and concerns of all those who care about the future of the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Highlighs in the management plan is the zonation and visitor use scheme aimed at managing and regulating visitor use and impacts in the different zones at the National Reserve. The zonation scheme establishes four categories of zonal area which are high-use zone, low use zone, Mara River Ecological zone and MMNR buffer zone. In the new law, the high use zones will be the focus of management efforts to enhance the reserve’s tourism product and provide a high quality, proactively managed, wildlife viewing experience for visitors. The Mara River ecological zone, which has a high tourism pressure because they are the rhino breeding areas and wildebeest crossing points, will have special management prescriptions and actions to protect the zone.
