7-Day Samburu & Masai Mara Fly-In Safari | Rare Wildlife

Kenya's Ultimate Fly-In Wildlife Experience

The ultimate luxury Kenya safari — seven days spanning two dramatically different ecosystems, connected entirely by scenic bush flights over Mount Kenya and the Great Rift Valley. In Samburu's semi-arid northern frontier, expect the rare 'Special Five' along the Ewaso Ng'iro River — Grevy's zebra, reticulated giraffe, gerenuk, Beisa oryx, and Somali ostrich. In the Masai Mara, the Great Migration and Africa's densest predator population dominate the golden savannah. Zero road time means every hour is spent on safari. From bush airstrip landings to sundowner drives — this is Kenya at its most exclusive.
