  • It was in the month of April 2023, I went to Masai Mara game reserve, Kenya for a wet season trip and to explore some wildlife adventure.
    April month is considered is exceptional and an absolute NO to the trip if you refer to any topics in Google. In Google people have mentioned saying not to visit Masai Mara in April as the month is totally wet and roads are all blocked with muddy roads and slushy paths. Rivers overflowing by not allowing jeeps to cross the streams and might get stuck in the stream or the muddy roads.
    I will say to some extent it might happen when we are not on alert but not always. It all depends on your smartness of driving and choosing the right path by not on a self belief.
    Advantages of April month in Masai Mara:
    1. Less number of visitors.
    2. Greenery everywhere.
    3. No dust and fresh air.
    4. Plenty of lions sightings according to the prides.
    5. High chances of Leopard & Cheetah sightings.
    6. Chances of going little closer to the animals due to not many vehicles around.
    7. Can take wonderful photographs & videos due to the clear sky, no haze, no air pollution (Dust), no vehicle disturbances.
    8. Experiencing different climatic conditions like chilled morning with Mist in air till 8am, clear afternoon sky with silver clouds, evening showers / rain with sunset backgrounds. Wonderful and clear sunrise views.
    9. Hot air balloons exploring the green reserve from up in the air.
    10. Less cost of hotels both outside and inside the reserve game.
    Disadvantages of April month in Masai Mara:
    1. Muddy roads and slushy paths.
    2. Safari jeeps getting stuck in the mud or any streams.
    3. Un imagination of drivers while driving on the muddy roads.
    4. No sightings of wildebeests crossing the mara or talek rivers as they have already entered into Tanzania.
    5. Very rare sightings of Zebras and absolute zero sighting of wildebeests.
    6. Unexpected rains especially in early morning / evening but very rarely in afternoon.
    Overall, I say to cut the cost and skip the migrations April is a beautiful month to witness wildlife especially Lion prides in Masai Mara.
    This video is only to show you as how we got stuck in the mud of an un imaginary path and how the other vehicles helps each other. They all are helpful to each other in such crisis.
    Not just getting stuck even if it is a tyre puncture other vehicle drivers helps with what all the resources they have. They will never escape or skip the situation saying no sorry I won't.
    Helping each other in crisis and in tough situations is the most beautiful experience I ever had in Masai Mara. I have chosen April month for my future trips to Masai Mara in avoiding Disadvantages.

    The car is stuck very badly, if the other car had not helped, then maybe the time would have been bad.
