Itinerary
Fly from Nairobi or the Coast to the Masai Mara
Guests are transferred to the airport for the scheduled light-aircraft flight to the Masai Mara. This product should be sold as a time-saving safari for clients who want to avoid long road transfers and begin the wildlife experience quickly.
- Airport transfer and check-in: Confirm exact pickup time, flight baggage limit, soft-bag requirement and passenger names before travel.
- Scenic flight: Fly over changing landscapes toward the Mara airstrip. The camp or lodge team meets guests on arrival.
- Game drive to camp: Depending on airstrip location, the transfer can double as an introductory game drive.
- Afternoon safari: After lunch and rest, head out for a late-afternoon game drive when wildlife is more active.
Full Day Masai Mara Safari
This is the main wildlife day. The guide plans drives around weather, animal movement and guest interests. The day can be a full-day drive with picnic lunch or two shorter drives with a midday break at the camp.
- Early morning drive: Search for predators, plains game, elephants and giraffes in soft morning light.
- Midday plan: Either return to camp for lunch or continue deeper into the reserve or conservancy with a picnic lunch.
- Optional balloon safari: A pre-booked balloon safari can be added, subject to weather, space and extra cost.
- Evening: Return for dinner and overnight in the selected lodge or camp category.
Final Mara Activity and Flight Out
Guests enjoy a final early activity if flight timing allows, then transfer to the airstrip for the return flight.
- Morning game drive: Use the final drive to revisit productive areas or look for animals missed the previous day.
- Airstrip transfer: Arrive in good time for the flight. Light-aircraft schedules can change, so reconfirm the day before.
- Arrival and onward transfer: Meet on arrival in Nairobi, Mombasa, Diani or the confirmed connection point for onward transfer.
