Overview

These African flight safaris are a perfect solution for those who don’t have the extra time of a 4x4 road trip safari. Within an hour time, you’ll travel from Nairobi, enjoying the golden outlooks of Kenya from the air and settle at a fitting airstrip in the Masai Mara National Reserve.

You’ll have plenty of time on this 3-days Masai Mara trip to take in the wonders of this famous safari park. The Masai Mara Game Reserve is known for its dense population of big cats, broad rolling grasslands and graceful acacia trees highlighting the landscape.
Famous for Africa’s Big Five sightings as well as cheetah, hyena, topi and foxes, the reserve is perhaps most known for the startling abundance of its great migration. Here millions of wildebeest, zebra and Thompson’s gazelle transit from the Serengeti crossing the Mara River into the reserve.
