Mara Region, Administrative region in northern Tanzania
Mara Region encompasses 30,150 square kilometers of land, including sections of Lake Victoria and parts of the Serengeti National Park in northern Tanzania.
The territory functioned as a district within Lake Province during British colonial administration before becoming an independent region after Tanzania's independence in 1961.
The region contains multiple ethnic communities, including the Luo, Jita, Ruri, Zanaki, Kuria, and Sukuma groups, each maintaining their traditional practices.
Agriculture employs 80 percent of the regional workforce, with farmers cultivating cassava, rice, maize, and cotton as primary income sources.
The annual migration of one million wildebeest, 200,000 zebras, and 300,000 Thomson's gazelles occurs within the region's protected areas.
