8 Days Kenya flying Safari

Overview

Your journey begins in Nairobi, where you’ll be picked up from your hotel and transferred to Wilson Airport for your first scenic flight to Samburu National Reserve. Located in northern Kenya, Samburu is known for its arid beauty and home to rare wildlife not commonly found elsewhere, such as the reticulated giraffe, Grevy’s zebra, Somali ostrich, beisa oryx, and gerenuk. You’ll stay at Samburu Intrepids, a luxury tented camp nestled along the Ewaso Nyiro River, and enjoy guided game drives showcasing the reserve’s unique ecosystem. Spend a full day in Samburu with morning and afternoon game drives.

The rugged terrain and sparse vegetation provide excellent visibility, and sightings of elephants, lions, leopards, and large antelope herds are common. Samburu offers not only outstanding game viewing but also breathtaking scenery and a sense of remoteness that defines an authentic safari. Next, take a flight from Samburu to Maasai Mara, Kenya’s most celebrated game reserve. As you fly over Mount Kenya and the Great Rift Valley, you’ll witness Kenya’s diverse topography from the air. Upon landing, transfer to LOYK Mara Camp, your luxury base for exploring the Mara.

The Maasai Mara is home to the Big Five, abundant predators, and, from July to October, the dramatic Great Wildebeest Migration. Over the next two full days, enjoy game drives across vast plains teeming with wildlife. You’ll search for lions lounging under acacia trees, herds of elephants crossing rivers, and cheetahs chasing prey. You’ll also visit a Maasai community, learning about their traditions, dances, and connection to the land. In the evenings, gather around the fire or enjoy a bush dinner under the stars.

After your Mara experience, you’ll fly to Amboseli National Park, one of the most picturesque parks in Africa with its backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Here, at Tulia Amboseli Camp, settle into your final luxury lodge and enjoy a slower pace as you take in breathtaking scenes of elephants silhouetted against the mountain. A full day game drive allows you to explore Amboseli’s swamps, grasslands, and dry lakebeds in search of lions, cheetahs, buffalo, flamingos, and more. Your safari concludes with a scenic flight back to Nairobi, where you’ll have time to freshen up at your hotel before transferring to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your international flight home. You leave with not only incredible wildlife sightings but also memories of landscapes, people, and the spirit of Kenya that will stay with you forever.
