Getting there

Car

If you are driving, start from your accommodation in Maasai Mara. Make your way to the main road leading to the Mara Triangle. Look for signs directing you towards the 'Mara Triangle' or 'Mara River.' The distance from most lodges in Maasai Mara to Mara Triangle is approximately 30-60 kilometers (depending on your starting point). The roads may be rough, so drive carefully. Expect to pay a park entrance fee upon arrival, which is typically around $70 per adult. The park is open from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

Public Transportation

To reach Mara Triangle using public transport, you can take a matatu (shared taxi) or bus from Narok to Maasai Mara. Once you arrive at the nearest town in the Maasai Mara region, you may need to arrange for a private taxi or hire a local guide to take you to Mara Triangle. Be prepared for additional costs for the taxi, which can range from $30 to $50 depending on the distance and negotiation. Ensure you check the schedule of the matatus, as they may not run frequently.

Guided Tour

Consider booking a guided tour that includes transportation to Mara Triangle. Many tour operators offer packages that cover pick-up from your accommodation, entrance fees, and guided tours within the reserve. This can be a convenient option for tourists unfamiliar with the area and can cost anywhere from $150 to $300 per person, depending on the duration and inclusions of the tour.
