Drive time is typically 5–6 hours from Nairobi depending on traffic and road conditions; some operators offer flights to the Mara airstrips.
The migration timing varies by year—river crossings most commonly occur July–October; sightings can’t be guaranteed but the Mara is central to the migration corridor.

The itinerary is family-friendly but involves long vehicle drives and early starts; check health concerns and mobility limitations with the operator before booking.
The Masai Mara takes its name from the Maasai people plus the local word for spotted ground; the reserve links to the wider Serengeti ecosystem and has been a focus of conservation since the mid-20th century.
Community conservancies and anti-poaching patrols play a central role in protecting wildlife; visitors should follow guide rules to minimize disturbance and support local conservation fees when asked.
