The Mathews Range is a remote safari area which offers a very wide range of activities, but where wildlife viewing is inherently less productive than more popular areas like the Maasai Mara. As a result, this area tends to appeal most to more experienced safari travellers, for whom the quality of sightings is more important than the quantity.

The usual stay duration is 4-7 nights.

Seasonality

The best time to visit the Mathews Range is generally considered to be the Jun-Feb dry season, but seasonality is low here and there are very good reasons to visit during other months. In fact during Jan-Mar the Mathews Range often enjoys the best conditions of any safari area in Kenya.

Getting there

The Mathews Range is usually accessed by light aircraft from Nairobi and distant safari locations like Maasai Mara and Amboseli.

The area is often combined in trips with other parts of this region such as Lewa and Samburu, with which it can be connected by road).
