Action 4.5 Improve all river crossings
The MMNR is fortunate in that there are relatively few major rivers that cross the area over which bridges
or drifts need to be established. All-weather crossings or drifts have already been developed across the Sand
and Mara Rivers, which have also formed the control points for vehicles entering the MMNR from Tanzania
or crossing between the different sections of the Reserve. However, in order to enhance visitor and security
patrol access to the Musiara section in the north of the MMNR, bridges will be built over the both the
Olare Orok and Nkiatakitat Rivers in the area known as “double crossing” during the lifespan of this plan. In
addition, to facilitate the use of the Reserve by visitors wishing to access the MMNR through Musiara Gate a
new drift willbe built on the main access road (the C13) at the approach to this gate.
