Masai Mara Flying Safari

Today you’ll start off your African safari tour with an early pickup from your hotel in Nairobi at 7:30 am. – A representative of African Vulture Safaris will collect you for the short transfer to Wilson Airport where you’ll board your approximately one-hour scenic Kenya flight to the Masai Mara game reserve.

Enjoy a birds – eye view of the Kenyan landscape as you make your way to the great Masai Mara Game Reserve.

During the mid-morning hours you’ll touch down at the Masai Mara airstrip where you’ll be met by your African Vulture Safaris guide who will take you for your first quick game drive en-route as you proceed  to your Masai Mara accommodation to settle in and get ready for lunch.

On this day, you can make plans with your guide about your first safari experience in the Mara, The Mara is the richest ecosystem in the region with over 95 mammal species. There are plenty of big cats here along with imposing grazers – elephants, giraffes, rhinos, and buffalos.

If you are here during the season of the Kenya Great Migration (July – October) you’ll be treated to the greatest movement of animals on the planet. At the Mara River uncountable herds of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles flood across from the Serengeti on their yearly trek in search of food.

Note: For those guests staying at conservancies who wish to travel to the Mara triangle area to view the Great Migration river crossings, there is an $100 per person surcharge.

We’ll ready ourselves for afternoon game drives, returning to the camp/lodge after sunset where dinner and overnight awaits.

Wrapping up your African safari package today is a leisurely morning breakfast at your tented safari camp/ safari lodge, afterward you have an option to visit the Masai village before starting your journey back to Nairobi.

Soon it’s time to hop back into your safari vehicle. You’ll get a last chance to experience a game drive en-route as you head to the airstrip for your flight to Nairobi bringing your adventure safari in Kenya to an end.

Touchdown at Wilson Airport will be at around 12:45 hrs. Where you’ll be met by African Vulture Safaris guide for the transfer back to your hotel/ the Nairobi airport for your flight back home.

We hope you soaked up plenty of Africa’s wildlife sightings on this busy tour. It’s been our pleasure to have you as our guest and from all of us at African Vulture Safaris, a big thanks!
