MARA TRIANGLE RULES

Rules are intended to ensure that visitors enjoy a superior safari experience without endangering themselves or the wildlife of the Mara Triangle. Please respect the rules and our rangers who are there to protect visitors, the wildlife and the environment.

Cheetah Vehicles

"Cheetah Vehicles" are based at these points to encourage proper safari guide and visitor behavior and has vastly improved the maintenance of proper distances between wildlife and tourist vehicles, as well as a significant reduction in crowding around animals such as lions and cheetahs. Our goal is to monitor the whole of the Triangle, improve guide and visitor behaviour, and ultimately, your safari experience.
