6 Days 5 Nights Fly In Safari – Nairobi → Samburu → Masai Mara → Nairobi
Duration
Safari Overview
Route: Nairobi → Samburu National Reserve → Masai Mara National Reserve → Nairobi
Duration: 6 Days / 5 Nights
Highlights:
Fly above Kenya’s dramatic landscapes to maximise wildlife‑viewing time. Begin in the arid, beautiful terrain of Samburu — home to unique species like the Grevy’s zebra and reticulated giraffe — then transfer by air to the lush plains of the Mara for classic savannah scenes, predator action and the possibility of witnessing the great migration (season dependent). With five nights, you’ll have deep immersion in two very different ecosystems.
