Kenya Safari Highlights by Air

The 9 night flying safari around Kenya includes a visit to three of the most popular wildlife areas and you stay in first class hotels and safari lodges. Travel is in a dedicated Elewana executive light aircraft, straight into the closest private airstrip.

Overview

Nairobi * Amboseli * Loisaba Conservancy * Masai Mara

The 9-night Kenya Safari Highlights by Air tour includes a visit to three of the most popular wildlife reserves, game-rich but away from the crowds. It is designed for travellers who value momentum as much as magic. In Nairobi, Amboseli, the Laikipia region and the Masai Mara, you stay in some of the finest luxury lodges in Kenya. On the ground, you stay at some of Kenya's most respected safari lodges, each chosen for its setting, guiding and access to wildlife rich areas. The result is a safari that feels unhurried, yet immersive.

The flying aspect

This flying safari uses its own dedicated executive light aircraft, rather than the scheduled safari flights. So this makes it particularly convenient and comfortable. This tour is ideal for those who don't want to waste time when they could be active! It is not inexpensive but the convenience makes this a popular choice.

Plus, there are lots of extra activities and options already included in this Sky Safari. Therefore, the value lies not just in how you travel, but in how much you're able to do once you arrive!
