The Narok County Government has approved the Maasai Mara Game Reserve Expansion Bill, a move aimed at reducing human-wildlife conflict and bolstering conservation efforts.

This initiative is expected to generate vital lease money and create jobs, such as rangers and tour guides, thereby boosting the local economy.
