This 3-day Flying Masai Mara Safari is ideal for travelers intending to visit Masai Mara while wanting to avoid the 5- to 6-hour road trip from Nairobi. Instead, we can offer a flight package Safari with a one-hour flight from Wilson airport in Nairobi, taking you to Masai Mara. The flight is on a light aircraft ranging in seating from 15 to 40 passengers, depending on the airline booked and passenger loads. Upon arrival in Masai Mara, a Driver-Guide and vehicle are waiting to receive you for the start of the Safari. Passenger baggage is limited to 15 kilos per passenger. These fly-in Safaris in Kenya are usually conducted as group tours, meaning your Safari vehicle will not be on a private basis unless we specially request an exclusive vehicle at extra cost.
