Short on time? A 3-day fly-in Masai Mara safari saves you the long road trip. See what you get and who it is best for.
The road from Nairobi to the Masai Mara can take about 5 to 6 hours, and some parts are rough. If you have only a few days in Kenya, flying in can save you a lot of time.
What you gain by flying
You take a short flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport and land on an airstrip inside the Mara. You start your game drive the same day instead of being tired from the road. You can read about the airline Safarilink to see how these flights work.
What a normal day looks like
You wake up early for a morning game drive, when the animals are most active. After a good lunch and rest at your camp or lodge, you go out again in the afternoon. You may see lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras and, if you are lucky, a leopard or a rhino.
Who is it best for?
- Business travellers adding a short holiday
- Couples with limited leave days
- Families who do not want long drives with children
- Anyone who wants a comfortable trip
