Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit Mara Loyk Camp is during the dry season, which runs from July to October, coinciding with the Great Migration. This is the most popular time to visit as vast herds of wildebeest, zebras, and other grazers migrate through the Mara, providing incredible opportunities for wildlife sightings, particularly predator interactions. For those who prefer fewer crowds and lush landscapes, the green season from November to March is also an excellent time to visit. During this period, the landscape is vibrant and green, young wildlife is abundant, and birdwatching is at its peak.
How to Get There
Mara Loyk Camp can be accessed by both air and road. The nearest airstrip is Olare Motorogi Airstrip, located just a short 15 minute drive from the camp. Scheduled flights from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport operate to this airstrip, making air travel a convenient and scenic option for guests.
For those opting for a road journey, the camp is about a 5 to 6 hour drive from Nairobi. It’s best to travel in a 4×4 vehicle, as the terrain can be rough, but the journey offers beautiful views of the Kenyan countryside.
