Luxury Maasai Mara Fly-In Safari from Nairobi
Three nights in the Maasai Mara, with the long drive replaced by a flight of about 45 minutes from Nairobi's Wilson Airport. Choose a camp inside the national reserve, close to the rivers and migration routes, or in a private conservancy, where vehicle numbers are limited and night drives and walks are possible.
Olonana's riverside setting and Angama's position above the Mara Triangle offer two other ways to stay near the reserve. The camp comparison below shows where each option sits and what the three-night package costs.

Trip Highlights
A flight of about 45 minutes from Nairobi Wilson, with possible airstrip stops
Three nights at your chosen luxury camp
Morning and afternoon game drives with your camp's own guides
Night drives and guided walks available at conservancy camps
Migration-season travel from July to October, without a promise of river crossings
Reserve or conservancy?
Your camp decides where you spend your game drives and which activities are possible. Reserve access is included for reserve-based stays; visits from conservancy camps cost extra.
Reserve stays and river access
Ashnil, Ilkeliani, Entim and Governors' Camp are inside the national reserve. Olonana sits beside the Mara River, west of the reserve, while Angama overlooks the Mara Triangle. Game drives in the reserve are by day and stay on the tracks. July to October is the usual migration period, but herds and river crossings follow conditions, not a timetable.
Private conservancies
Eagle View and Hemingways Ol Seki are in Mara Naboisho Conservancy; Mahali Mzuri is in Olare Motorogi. These are Maasai-owned lands leased for conservation, with limits on vehicle numbers. Night drives and guided walks are possible, with arrangements depending on the camp. National reserve visits need an additional reserve fee and may carry a camp charge.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
Day 1Nairobi to the Maasai Mara
Our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Nairobi and drive you to Wilson Airport for your scheduled light-aircraft flight to the Mara. The flight takes about 45 minutes and may stop at other airstrips on the way. The camp's driver will meet you at the airstrip and drive you to camp. After lunch and time to settle in, head out on your first afternoon game drive. The open grassland gives you long views across the plains as your guide looks for lions, elephants, giraffes and other wildlife.
Meals:Lunch & Dinner
Stay:Your chosen camp
Day 2A full day on safari
Spend the day with your guide on morning and afternoon game drives, or take a picnic for a full day out, depending on your camp's programme. Reserve-based stays explore the national reserve; conservancy stays explore their own wildlife area, where vehicle numbers are limited. At a conservancy camp, ask about a night drive to look for genets, bushbabies and other animals active after dark. Night drives are not allowed inside the national reserve. A reserve visit from a conservancy camp is an extra-cost outing.
Meals:Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Stay:Your chosen camp
Day 3Your choice of day in the Mara
Use today for what interests you most. Depending on your camp, that might mean another day of game drives, a guided walk or a visit to a nearby Maasai community. A sunrise hot-air balloon flight can be added at extra cost; other optional outings are confirmed with your camp. Between July and October, your guide follows reports of the migration herds and may suggest time near the river crossing points. Crossings depend on the herds and the rain, so we cannot promise one.
Meals:Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner
Stay:Your chosen camp
Day 4Maasai Mara to Nairobi
At the conservancy camps, a sunrise game drive on your last morning is included. At reserve-based camps, a final-morning drive is optional because it requires one extra day of reserve fees: USD 100 per person until 30 June and USD 200 from 1 July. You can enjoy breakfast at camp instead. After check-out, the camp's driver takes you to the airstrip for your flight to Wilson Airport. Our driver will pick you up at Wilson and take you to your Nairobi hotel or Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. Leave enough time before an international flight, or add a night in Nairobi.
Meals:Breakfast
Stay:No overnight

Questions before you book
Should I stay in the reserve or a conservancy?
Choose a reserve-based stay if access to the migration herds and river crossing areas matters most. Choose a conservancy for fewer vehicles and the option of night drives and walks. River crossings are never guaranteed.
Are the flights included?
Yes. All published prices include the return scheduled flight between Nairobi Wilson Airport and the Maasai Mara.
Are park fees included?
Yes. Reserve fees for three days or conservancy fees are included, depending on your camp. A final-morning reserve drive and reserve visits from conservancy camps cost extra.
Can we stay longer?
Yes. Ask us about extra nights in the Mara or combining two camps. We will quote the accommodation, flights and fees for your revised stay.

Great First Africa Experience
I had an absolutely wonderful time in Kenya, all thanks to Millcent / Saringi Travel. From the incredibly friendly and reliable communication, to the flexible and thoughtful travel planning, all the way to the outstanding care on the ground, everything was simply perfect. I always felt well taken care of and in the best hands. What impressed me most was not only their professionalism, but also the sheer beauty of the entire experience. I'm still completely in awe! Thank you Millcent and thank you Letaloi!!!
