Travel better in Maasai Mara with the right person

💸

🛡️

Stay safer

A travel companion means someone knows your plans, can help navigate emergencies, and makes you less of a target in unfamiliar areas of Maasai Mara.

🔍

Go deeper

The best experiences in Maasai Mara — the off-menu restaurant, the dawn hike, the local's favourite spot — are found with a curious companion, not a guidebook.

Worth agreeing on before you meet

Vehicle rules in the reserve

Stay in your vehicle at all times except at designated picnic sites. Do not stand on vehicle roofs. Keep a minimum 25-metre distance from predators. Off-road driving is strictly prohibited and carries fines of $10,000 or more.

Photography etiquette

Never use flash near wildlife. Drones are illegal in the Mara. At river crossings, stay calm and quiet — excessive noise and engine revving disturbs the herds and can prevent crossings from happening. Patience yields the best photos.

Full detail — itineraries, budgets, neighbourhoods and safety — is in the Maasai Mara travel guide.
