Getting There
-
Car
If you are driving from a location within the Masai Steppe, head towards the A104 road. Follow the signs to the Masai Mara National Reserve. Once you reach the junction for the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, turn onto the road that leads into the conservancy. Continue along this road for approximately 25 kilometers until you reach the Encounter Mara Camp, which is located at H8HH+CWC, Mara Naboisho Conservancy, Naboisho, Kenya. Make sure to have a map or GPS device, as the roads can be less marked.
-
Public Transportation
To reach Encounter Mara Camp via public transport, you can take a matatu (shared taxi) from a nearby town such as Narok or Maai Mahiu to the entrance of the Masai Mara National Reserve. From there, you will need to arrange for a private vehicle or a safari jeep to take you to the camp, as the matatu does not go directly into the conservancy. The cost for the matatu ride is typically around 1,000-1,500 KES (Kenyan Shillings), and the private transfer to the camp may vary from 3,000 to 5,000 KES depending on the distance and negotiation.
-
Airport Transfer
If you are arriving by air, the nearest airport is the Mara Serena Airport. You can book a transfer from the airport directly to Encounter Mara Camp. This transfer is usually arranged by the camp itself and may cost around $50 to $100 depending on the service provider. Make sure to confirm this when making your reservation with the camp.
