Mara Safaris
 
Road Safaris
There are several safari options by road to the Mara. Usually, these start from Nairobi, and include a scenic 4 to 5 hour drive down to the Sekenani gate or to the North West part of the reserves. Most of the journey is on a pot holed tarmac road, with the last stretch being on a wide dirt road leading to the reserve. Accomodation is in lodges which offer quality service, rooms, and usually excellent buffet meals on a full board basis. Safaris are usually for a minimum of 2 nights and 3 days, although it is possible to have a quick one night safari here as well, although this is too short to really sample the magic of the Mara.

Road Safaris also include early morning and late afternoon gamedrives lasting from 2 to 3 hours. It is also possible to stay out in the reserve starting from morning till evening, with an arranged picnic lunch at a designated site being included. Some sample road safaris:

2 night/ 3 day Mara Safari
3 night / 4 day Mara Safari

Camping Safaris
Suitable as budget options to the usual road safaris, these camping safaris include transport to the reserve with accomodation at a selected campsite. Although one is expected to partake in the work involved in camping, most camping safaris include a cook, who with the tour driver/guide will probably attend to all the chores of camping. There are the usual pit latrines which may even be permanent at established campsites but running water is not available. Most camping trips leave as scheduled departures in groups larger than 6 people and include gamedrives in the reserve.
