With a fly-in safari, you spend less time travelling and more time enjoying game drives and your camp. ### Scenic Flight into the Mara The journey from Nairobi offers an aerial introduction to Kenya's landscapes before landing at a Masai Mara airstrip. On arrival, your safari guide will meet you and you can begin your safari experience without a long transfer. ### Comfortable and Convenient Your flights, airstrip transfers, accommodation and safari arrangements can all be organised as part of one itinerary. It is a practical option for travellers who prefer to avoid a long road journey while still enjoying a traditional safari experience. ### Perfect for a Short Safari Three days is enough to experience the Masai Mara without taking too much time away from a longer Kenya holiday, business trip or beach stay. # 3-Day Masai Mara Fly-In Safari Itinerary ## Day 1 – Nairobi to Masai Mara Transfer to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport for your scheduled flight to the Masai Mara. On arrival, meet your local safari guide at the airstrip and begin your first game drive as you make your way towards your camp. Arrive at your midrange safari camp for lunch and some time to settle in. Later in the afternoon, head out for a game drive. Keep an eye out for lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo and other wildlife as the afternoon cools. Return to camp for dinner and overnight. ## Day 2 – Full-Day Masai Mara Safari Start the day with an early morning game drive when wildlife is often most active. After the morning safari, return to camp for breakfast and some time to relax. You can then enjoy another game drive in the afternoon or spend more time at camp, depending on your preferred pace. For travellers who want maximum time in the reserve, a full-day game drive with a picnic lunch can be arranged. Return to camp in the evening for dinner and overnight. ### Optional Experience A sunrise hot air balloon safari can be added to your itinerary, subject to availability and weather conditions. ## Day 3 – Masai Mara to Nairobi Enjoy a final morning game drive before breakfast, depending on your flight schedule. After breakfast, transfer to the airstrip for your flight back to Nairobi’s Wilson Airport. Your 3-day Masai Mara fly-in safari ends on arrival in Nairobi. # What You’ll See in the Masai Mara The Masai Mara is one of Kenya's most rewarding wildlife destinations, with excellent opportunities to see: * Lions * Leopards * Cheetahs * Elephants * Buffalo * Giraffes * Zebras * Wildebeest * Antelopes * A wide variety of bird species Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, but the Mara's diverse ecosystem provides excellent game-viewing opportunities throughout the year.
