Why Location Matters for Your Masai Mara Safari

In the Masai Mara, every minute counts — especially during the migration. That’s why your camp’s location can make a huge difference. Staying near the Talek Gate, like at Mara Siligi Camp, means you’re among the first on the road in the morning and the last to leave at sunset.

Some Masai Mara packages place you far from the reserve, meaning wasted time commuting and fewer wildlife encounters. Choosing a centrally located camp ensures you’re where the action is, with quick access to river crossings, hunting grounds, and predator sightings.
