Over the years, the Masai Mara National Reserve Entry Fee has been changing depending on the season of visit. However, it's good to note that the best time to visit the popular reserve is between July and October when the wildebeest and other herbivores travel from Tanzania's Serengeti National Park to Masai Mara. During this time, however, the fees are usually hiked, and most hotels are booked.

It is important for visitors entering Masai Mara National Reserve to familiarize themselves with the revised entry fees. The entry fees for international visitors have increased by a significant margin, which is proof of the growing demand for access.

Even though the fees for local residents have also been raised, they remain lower compared to that of international tourists.

While Masai Mara is in a remote location, it is easily accessible. For international visitors, your trip to Masai Mara starts at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, where most arrivals occur. From there, you can access the world-famous game destination by air or road.

But since some roads are usually in poor condition, especially during the rainy season, we recommend air travel. The most convenient way is by flying from Wilson Airport to one of the major airstrips located in the Masai Mara. Some of the most popular airlines are SafariLink and AirKenya, and the flight takes between 45 and 60 minutes. Below are the most well-known airstrips in the Mara:
