Too many people, overrun with vehicles...
Hype or warnings to heed? Are you booking Talek area lodging these days? These days being Sept of 2010?
Know anything about Riverside Banda, along the Talek?
Thank you!

I assume you are speaking of the Riverside camp close to Talek gate................
Never heard of that venue but started evaluating when you raised the question
Outcome of my "brain storm":
- The position seems ideal for visiting the conservancies as werll as the reserve
- Safety and security shouldn't be a problem as that's a massai project; high ranking within its hierarchy
- Rates are very affordable compared to e.g.FB at Ilkeliani which is in the vicinity; even if you hire the vehicle/guide it's still favourable
If you don't need the lux of a tented camp and go for the wildlife - it's an option well worth to consider.
Thanks Pippa. That's the place.
Your point #2 is becoming more of a an issue and one I had not considered in the past.
What do you think about the Talek area in general? Are the negative comments that I read from a variety of sources too harsh? Maybe I should just stay put in the Mara Triangle for my approx week stay and forget about splitting my time.
