Sekenani Gate
Bedste tid at besøge
Arrive at dawn, right when the barrier opens, because predators hunt hardest in the first cool hours. Early birds also beat the 9 AM convoy of tour vans to the open plains.
Budgettips
Non-resident park fees run roughly $70 to $80 per adult per day plus a vehicle charge, and multi-day passes lower the daily rate. Pay by card at the window so you do not carry wads of cash through the crowds.

Om
Hurtige fakta: Navnet kommer fra det lokale maasai-ord for et sted, hvor vand skærer sig gennem klippen, en henvisning til den bæk, der løber langs indgangsposten. Omkring 1.500 kvadratkilometer åben savanne ligger bag billetvinduet, og cirka 250 kilometer asfalt adskiller denne gatehouse fra Nairobi.
Højdepunkter: Nattelejet forudgående dyreintelligens strømmer gennem her: parkvagter udveksler radiochatter om, hvor løveflokkene og vandringens front sover, og de vil pege dig i retning af de friskeste spor. I julimorgener strømmer gnu-kolonner forbi den samme støvede lysning, nogle gange inden for 50 meter fra biler, der står i kø for at købe billetter.
Insidertips
- Fill your fuel tank in Narok town before the drive, because there is no pump beyond this barrier.
- Bring a lightweight scarf and sunglasses for the ticket line, where kicked-up laterite dust stings more than the sun.
- Chit-chat with the rangers on gate shift; they will tell you whose kill the vultures are circling this morning.
- Skip a mid-morning arrival, since the 9 to 11 AM window backs up with tour vehicles.
