On safari in Maasai Mara Reserve, Kenya in Sep 2012, we did not find that
sort of jam up. There were occasions that we encountered other vehicles in
passing, but only about twice in some four days that I recall that our two
van group encountered more than two others at one time, unless on one of
the main tracks from one part of the reserve to another. Most of the
wildlife stays clear of the main tracks, though, I am sure for the reason
that there are too many vehicles traversing them.
Overall, I found that our Safari drivers, and others we encountered, were
respectful of the wildlife. Holding (once, in our case, for a very long
while) where their movement would directly disturb wildlife.
