Flying safaris are a superb way to combine
different game parks without losing too much time
traveling. They are flexible itineraries which allow
you to depart on any day of the week, choose your
destinations and favorite accommodation and stay
for as long as you wish.
This flying safari offers an incredible journey
incorporating the more remote parts of Samburu
and the world-famous plains of the Masai Mara.
The six-night itinerary begins in Samburu
National Reserve, home to some of the most unique
wildlife in Kenya and a host of birds. The Masai
Mara offers plenty of opportunities to spot plains
game and the ‘big five’.
