Q: What’s the best route to Masai Mara from Nairobi, and how long does it take?

Most drive via Narok; expect ~5–6 hours. Plan stops for restrooms and photo breaks.

Q: Should I book a guided safari or self-drive in Masai Mara?

Guides help with wildlife spotting and routes. Self-drive is possible but requires local knowledge and permits.

Q: How many game drives per day are ideal for first-time visitors?

Two drives (morning and late afternoon) usually maximize sightings while keeping fatigue low.

Q: What camera settings or gear should I bring for big cats and wildlife?

Bring a 200–400mm lens, extra batteries, and a monopod. Dawn/dusk needs faster shutter speeds.

Q: Do camps provide power outlets and charging for phones/batteries?

Most camps have limited power and charging points. Carry a power bank and check outlet types in advance.

Q: What’s the best way to handle malaria prevention and what should I pack?

Use prescribed prophylaxis and repellent. Pack long sleeves, neutral clothing, rain gear, and a headlamp.
