FAQ – Emergency While in the Mara

Getting stuck in the mud

Yes, but we charge 10,000Ksh to tow out any vehicle using our tractors.

Break down

Most of the camps/lodges have their own garage and mechanics. You will need to talk to their manager if you need their service.
We have policemen based at Purungat (Mara Bridge). They can visit the scene and write a report but you will then referred to the nearest police station in Lolgorian town outside the park. Please ask our office for their phone number.
