3-Day Masai Mara Fly-In Safari

7:00am: Your Masai Mara air safari adventure begins with a morning pick-up in Nairobi and transfer to Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight.

8:00am: Board your light aircraft and enjoy breathtaking aerial views of Kenya’s diverse landscapes-from lush highlands to the vast Great Rift Valley. Within about an hour, you’ll land at a Masai Mara airstrip where your professional safari guide will warmly welcome you. Begin your safari immediately in a custom open top 4 x 4 Land Cruiser jeep with a game drive en route to your lodge or luxury tented camp.

The Masai Mara’s rolling savannahs, dotted with acacia trees, are teeming with wildlife. Expect your first sightings of elephants, giraffes, zebras, antelopes, and possibly big cats such as lions and cheetahs. Spend the afternoon on your first exciting game drive, followed by a relaxing evening, dinner and overnight at your Sarova Mara Game Camp.

Enjoy a full day of unlimited game drives in Masai Mara, one of Africa’s richest wildlife ecosystems and home to the Big Five. Start early with a sunrise game drive, the best time to spot predators like lions, leopards, and cheetahs in action. Work with your guide to explore different parts of the reserve based on your wildlife interests.

Visit the iconic Mara River, famous for the Great Wildebeest Migration (July–October). Witness thousands of wildebeest, zebras, and gazelles crossing crocodile-infested waters -one of the greatest wildlife spectacles on Earth. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the bush or return to your lodge before continuing your afternoon game drives. End your day with a spectacular African sunset before heading back to Sarova Mara Game Camp for dinner and relaxation.

Wrap up your Masai Mara safari by air with early morning breakfast at the Sarova Mara Game Reserve. Afterward, transfer to the airstrip with a final game drive en route, giving you one last chance to spot wildlife.

Board your return flight to Nairobi, arriving at Wilson Airport where an Across Wilderness Expedition representative will meet and transfer you to your hotel, residence, or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.
