Luxury Safari · Fly-In
A shorter fly-in circuit through three of Kenya's best-known parks — elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, the Mara, and a Rift Valley rhino sanctuary.
AMBOSELI · MASAI MARA · LAKE NAKURU
For travellers who want the fly-in experience but don't have ten days to spend on it.
This is a tighter version of our longer fly-in circuits — three parks instead of four, but the same principle: light aircraft link every stop, so days that would otherwise disappear into driving become extra hours on the ground. Amboseli opens the trip with elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro, the Masai Mara supplies two full unhurried days among Kenya's highest predator density, and the route closes overland via the Rift Valley at Lake Nakuru, one of the more reliable places in the country to see both black and white rhino.
Day by day
Private transfer to your hotel, a safari briefing, and time to settle in — with an optional Giraffe Centre or Karen Blixen Museum visit if your arrival time allows.
A short flight to Amboseli, with an afternoon game drive beneath Kilimanjaro — cloud cover permitting, one of the more striking backdrops in East African safari.
Morning and afternoon drives through the swamps that keep Amboseli's elephant herds visible year-round, with a stop at Observation Hill for the wider view.
A flight south to the Mara, arriving in time for an afternoon game drive across open grassland.
An optional dawn hot air balloon flight, followed by a full day of game drives across some of the highest predator density anywhere on the continent.
A scenic drive north via the Rift Valley escarpment to Lake Nakuru, arriving for an afternoon game drive inside the park's rhino sanctuary.
A final relaxed morning — walk the lakeshore if the flamingos are in, or simply enjoy breakfast before the transfer back to Nairobi for your onward flight.
