Experience the Serenity of the Safari Picnic Tree

Getting There

• Private Car

  If you are traveling by private car, head towards Sekenani Gate, which is one of the main entry points to Maasai Mara National Reserve. Once you enter the reserve, follow the main road and keep an eye out for signposts directing you towards the Safari picnic tree location. The coordinates for the Safari picnic tree are approximately -1.548725 latitude and 35.079288 longitude. Depending on your starting point, it may take around 30 to 60 minutes to reach the picnic area. Ensure that your vehicle is suitable for the terrain.

• Public Transportation

  For those opting for public transportation, take a matatu (shared taxi) from Narok town to Sekenani Gate. The matatu ride typically costs around 300-500 Kenyan Shillings (KSh) and takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Once you arrive at Sekenani Gate, you can either hire a local guide or arrange for a vehicle to take you to the Safari picnic tree, which is about a 30-minute drive from the gate. Be sure to negotiate the fare with the driver beforehand.

• Guided Tour

  Consider joining a guided tour that includes a visit to the Safari picnic tree. Many tour companies offer packages that cover transportation and guiding services. This option typically includes a cost that varies based on the itinerary but can range from 5,000 to 10,000 KSh per person, which encompasses transport, park entry fees, and a guided experience. Confirm the details with the tour operator regarding the exact route and stops included in the tour.
