End of the Tour
How to get to Masai Mara National Reserve
The trip takes at least 6 hours from Nairobi by car because the roads are quite poor. If you do plan to drive, avoid the rainy season since many of the roads become totally impassable. Many tourists choose to fly into the Masai Mara National Reserve because of the poor quality roads. But flying makes your safari quite a bit more expensive (since you have to then add the game drives to your tour) and you miss out on some of the adventures of traveling in one of Africa’s more remote areas.
Standard 4X4 Safari Vans/Land cruisers
Our standard mode of transport is by road and we use 4×4 Safari van and Land cruisers with open roof tops customized for game viewing and photography. Each Safari van/Land cruiser comes with a professionally trained driver/guide with fuel for the whole safari. Each client is entitled to a window seat and can take up to 8-10 people. We also have very comfortable super customs which can carry up 6 people with their luggage also have small vehicles like Alphads, Harrier and much more that can carry 4-5 people.
Walking Safaris: If you enjoy a little adventure try a walking safari with a Masai guide. The best ones are outside the reserve boundaries in the Conservancies.
Cultural Tours with the Masai: Visiting a traditional Masai village is frequently included in a safari package and have an experience about the Masai.
Hot Air Ballooning: This is a popular pastime that provides an expensive but unique experience. Every lodge and camp will be able to set up a flight for you. The balloons usually fly at dawn and last about an hour. Upon landing most balloon companies offer a champagne breakfast.
