PARKS AND RESERVES: ARAWALE NATIONAL RESERVE: ACCESS
 

    Visiting Arawale requires a 4-wheel drive, since there are no tracks inside nor accessing the reserve. You can reach Arawale either from Nairobi or the coast.

    Departing from Nairobi northward along the A2, turn right at Thika to the A3. This road leads to Garissa, but before reaching this town you will take a right turn to the B8 southward, heading for Malindi and Mombasa. After driving for 90 km you will find a detour left to the town of Bura, where you will arrive after crossing the Tana river. In Bura there is a crossroads where you will turn right. This road is the D568, which borders the eastern limit of Arawale before leading to Ijara and the coast.

    Arawale is located 250 km north of Mombasa and 130 km north of Malindi. From each of these towns you will drive north along the B8 road, which runs parallel to the coast until turning inland upstream the Tana River. Leaving behind the town of Garsen and the Tana river primate national reserve, turn right to the track that leads to Masalani and Ijara. After crossing the Tana you will find a detour left that goes northward. This route traverses the reserve before reaching the town of Masabubu. Another option is going on from Masalani to Ijara, where you will take the D568 to the left toward Masabubu and Bura. Before reaching Masabubu, the track runs close to the eastern border of Arawale.
