Overview
From a coast holiday in Diani, Mombasa or Malindi, the Mara is a world away without a long road transfer. Fly into the reserve, meet your safari guide and spend the next three days looking for lions, elephants, buffalo, leopards and, with luck, rhinos, alongside giraffes, zebras, cheetahs and wildebeests. Stay at a safari lodge or tented camp and enjoy the open plains at their best in the morning and late afternoon. The airstrip, flight connection, lodge and exact game-drive plan depend on your dates and availability; we confirm all of them before you book.
- Return flights from the Kenyan coast, subject to flight schedules
- Two nights at a safari lodge or tented camp
- Guided game drives in the Masai Mara
- Chances to see the Big Five and other savannah wildlife — sightings are never guaranteed
- A beach-and-bush break without a long road journey
