 Apart from supporting wildlife conservation, Mara River is also a source of livelihood to around 1.1 million Tanzanians and Kenyans.

 Commemoration of the day coincides with the great migration of wildebeest from world famous Serengeti National Park in Tanzania and Maasai Mara Game Reserve in Kenya.
