4 days.
Suitable for most fitness levels; expect long periods sitting with short vehicle-assisted walking.
Expect several hours on gravel roads between parks and game drives each day; transfers from Nairobi involve long but scenic drives with stops.
The itinerary is labeled physically easy, but long vehicle rides and early mornings may be challenging for very young children or those with mobility issues.
Budget tented camp or basic hotel lodging is provided—shared safari vans and pop-up roof access are typical for viewing.
Migration timing varies annually, but Mara sees dramatic river crossings typically between July and October; consult current reports when booking.
