The Masai Mara sits in a malaria transmission zone, peaking during the wet summer months (November to April). Consult a travel physician for preventative medication, wear long sleeves during evening drives, and apply insect repellent daily.
Wildebeest can gather on riverbanks for hours or even days before crossing, and sudden alarms can cause them to scatter back into the bush. Patience is required, and game drives can last all day.
Kenya charges steep daily park entry fees for international visitors. These are typically billed on your lodge folio or paid via credit card at the entry gates, and are valid for strict 24-hour periods.
