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.'

    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.
