Since there is only the one border crossing between the two countries, and since I am coming in December when animal sightings are better in Tanzania, should I give up going to the Masai Mara and concentrate on game parks in Tanzania? What about Amboseli? It is on the way from Salt Lick to Tanzania; is it worthwhile?
Please don't give up on Kenya and Masai Mara. Our tour was arranged by
http://www.micato.com/. They were wondereful. I highly recommend them. BTW, for all of the talk about border crossings: I have a photograph taken with one foot in Tanzania and the other in Kenya. Be sure to take the hot air balloon ride which will take you over both.
