Activities

Maasai Mara Reserve Safari Full Day

“The distance is about 240 Kilometers (4 Hour Drive) to the park entry and then for a proper game drive, they need to spend at least 4 hours in there because the park is big and the animals are spread out. The animals are mostly seen early in the morning between 6:30-10:30 so it will be a very early start and late finish.” - Timothy, Istar Tours Kenya
