A: Minimum 2-3 days recommended to properly experience reserve! Day tours possible but long drive from Nairobi - you'll spend significant time traveling. 2-3 days allows multiple game drives, different areas, and better wildlife viewing chances. 4-5 days ideal for comprehensive experience and better migration viewing (if in season).

Maasai Mara excellent for shorter stays and accessible viewing. Both showcase same Great Migration!
