Why three days?
The drive takes up part of the first and last day. With a whole day in the middle, you get two light windows and more time to cover one area.
What should you look at in the itinerary?
Ask for the name of the entry gate, the planned nights and the hours on the tracks. The circuit listed here lasts four days and combines the Masai Mara with Lake Nakuru.
When should you look at the Mara?
The northern summer and early autumn are the usual window for the herds’ passage. River crossings vary. Outside that window, the reserve still shelters resident wildlife.
