In the 1990's, the infamous Maasai Mara National Reserve was divided into 2 sectors, the eastern sector and the north eastern sector, known as the Mara triangle. The Mara Triangle is the 510 sq km northwestern sector of the Maasai Mara National reserve and is bound by Siria Escarpment, the Mara River and the Tanzanian border. The triangle is a wildlife haven, providing some of the best game viewing in the world and is one of the best spots to view the migration. The Mara Triangle is managed as part of the Mara Conservancy, a Kenyan non-profit organisation that works with local leaders, communities and partners as a model of sustainable protected area management based on transparency and accountability. Roan antelope disappeared from the Mara Triangle in 1994 as a result of intensive hunting; however, in 2013 and 2014, a lone animal has been sighted again in the Mara Triangle. The roan antelope is Mara Conservancy’s symbol of our success and hope for the return of a wild species.
