The trip, in short
A premium flying safari connecting Amboseli's elephants and the Masai Mara's predators by light aircraft instead of a long road transfer.
Kenya’s two most iconic landscapes, connected by air instead of an eight-hour road transfer between them: Amboseli’s Kilimanjaro-backed elephant herds followed by the Masai Mara’s endless plains and resident predator prides, all from top-tier camps.
Flying between parks means more time on game drives and less time on tarmac — five days here covers roughly what a road itinerary would need seven or eight days to achieve. A premium, time-efficient option for travelers who want both headline destinations without the long drives between them.
What makes this one special
- Scheduled flights Nairobi–Amboseli–Masai Mara
- Elephant herds beneath Kilimanjaro
- Two full days of game drives in the Masai Mara
- Luxury tented camp accommodation throughout
- Optional hot air balloon safari over the Mara
