This 2-day flying safari takes you from the coast of Mombasa straight into the heart of Kenya’s world-famous Maasai Mara National Reserve. Combining scenic flights, luxury accommodation and expertly guided game drives, this journey offers an immersive wildlife experience in one of Africa’s most spectacular safari destinations.
Your adventure begins with a scenic flight from Mombasa, offering breathtaking aerial views of Kenya’s landscapes and, on clear days, the snow-capped peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. Upon arrival at the Maasai Mara airstrip, you’ll be met by your experienced driver-guide and begin a game drive en route to Mara Engai Lodge. Set on the edge of the Oloololo Escarpment, the lodge offers sweeping views across the Mara plains, creating a dramatic backdrop for your stay. After check-in and lunch, you’ll head out for an afternoon game drive in a specialised 4x4 or 6x6 all-terrain vehicle designed for optimal wildlife viewing. The Maasai Mara is home to an incredible concentration of wildlife, and you may encounter lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffalo alongside countless other species across its open landscapes. As the sun sets, return to the lodge for dinner and an overnight stay surrounded by the sounds of the African wilderness.
Day two begins with an early morning game drive, when wildlife is most active, and the golden light offers ideal viewing and photography conditions. After returning to the lodge for breakfast, you’ll check out and transfer back to the airstrip for your mid-morning flight to Mombasa. From there, you’ll be taken to your beach hotel, bringing your unforgettable Maasai Mara flying safari to a close.
