4 Day Private Masai Mara Flight Safari Tour from Nairobi

We'll pick you up at your hotel, residence, the Nairobi airport, or the location of your choice for the short ride to Wilson Airport. You’ll board your plane for the approximately one-hour scenic flight to the Masai Mara. Taking to the air, you’ll have a stunning vantage point over the sprawling Kenyan landscape. Along your route, look for the iconic form of Mt. Kilimanjaro and the dramatic escarpment of the Great Rift Valley. You’ll land mid-morning at the Mara airstrip and be welcomed by your Natural World Kenya Safaris guide in a private, open-top 4 x 4 Safari Jeep. Heading for your safari lodge or tented camp, enjoy your first short game drive in the great reserve. Settle in, refresh, and get ready for lunch. At lunch, your guide will tell you about the park, its wildlife, and the different areas you can choose to visit.

When on safari we like to get up with the sun to watch its gold light spread over the fields. It’s a great time for game viewing as it is cool and the wildlife is just emerging into the awakening day. The Masai Mara is home to all of Africa’s ‘Big Five’ – lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo, and rhino. But there are many other mammal species in the great park – over 95. Should you be visiting the Mara during the Great Migration season (July – October), get ready to witness a virtual flood of wildlife crossing over the Mara River from the neighboring Serengeti. Tens of thousands of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelle pour into the park on their annual trek searching for higher grasses.

You’re getting into the rhythms and lifestyle of the safari life. Discuss with your guide your plan for the day. What areas of the reserve have you not yet seen? Which wildlife would you like to see more of? There are other aspects of the park that will enhance your experience here. Take an optional visit to one of the local Maasai villages. You’ll get to meet these indigenous people and learn about their culture close up. Just ask your guide to make the arrangements. Have you ever done a sky safari? For the ultimate Mara adventure, take an optional pre-dawn hot air balloon flight over the park. You’ll rise with the sun, literally, as below, the reserve comes alive with the light and wildlife. A never-to-be-forgotten adventure. Your guide can handle all the details.

Our fourth and final day – let’s pack in an early morning game drive to your favorite spots in the park. You’re now experienced safari-goers and can speak with some knowledge about the wildlife and the reserve. We’ll head back to our accommodation for a big breakfast to fortify us for the final game drive and the flight back. Soon it’s time to pack into our 4 x 4 Jeep for our last drive through the park on the way to the airstrip.
