2 Days, 1 Night Masai Mara Fly-in Safari

An early morning pickup from your beach resort will start your safari adventure as we bring you to Mombasa Airport.

Your chartered flight lifts off between 7:30 hrs. – 8:30 hrs. for the approximately two-hour scenic trip. From your perch in the sky, you’ll get views of majestic Mt. Kilimanjaro and the sprawling Kenya landscape.

You’ll touch down at about 10:30 hrs. and be met by your Natural World Guide in a private, open-top 4 x 4 safari Jeep.

Settle into your open-top 4 x 4 Jeep for your first drive through the Masai Mara. This will be a short intro safari as you head to your accommodation to freshen up and get ready for lunch.

Enjoy your first safari meal as your Guide shares facts about the reserve and the different areas you can visit.

You’ll set out in your Jeep to discover the densest wildlife population in the region. Moving over the Mara’s golden savannas, past picture-perfect acacia trees, you’ll witness a menagerie of Africa’s dramatic wildlife.

You’ll be looking for lions, leopards, cheetahs, plus towering giraffes and elephants, grazing in the fields and forests.

This is the land of the Great Migration – where thousands of wildebeests and zebras come across the Mara River on their annual trek for more abundant food. If you’re here during the season (July – October) prepared to be amazed at the incredible numbers of wildlife marching before you.

During your two-day Mara adventure, you get to decide on your game-viewing schedule. Your guide will have ideas about which areas of the park to view certain wildlife. But the choice of what to do and at what pace is entirely yours.

Note: For those guests staying at conservancies who wish to travel to the Mara triangle area to view the Great Migration river crossings, there is an $80 per person surcharge.

You’ll enjoy dinner and spend the night at the safari lodge or tented campground of your choice.

Let’s rise with the sun to make the most of our second day in the park. You may want to explore areas you haven’t yet covered. Enjoy the early morning light – this is a quiet, peaceful time in the Mara.

We’ll move on to breakfast back at your accommodation and maybe discuss ideas for our final safari drive.

Then it’s time to grab that extra game viewing drive before heading over to the airstrip.

We’ll head for the airstrip and some final wildlife viewing before boarding your flight.

Departure will be at 14:00 hrs. (2:00 pm) for the scenic flight back to the Kenya coast.

You’ll arrive at the coast at 16:30 hrs. (4:30 pm) where you’ll be met by Natural World Kenya Safaris personnel for the transfer back to your hotel.

We hope you found the Masai Mara and its incredible wildlife as thrilling as we do. Please let us know when you’d like to return or visit another of Kenya’s exciting parks. A big thanks from all of us at Hidaya Africa Tours & Travel!
