On this Kenya Fly-In Luxury Safari, we trade the dusty roads for the diamond skies. By utilizing private light aircraft transfers, you spend less time traveling and more time immersed in the raw beauty of Meru, the rugged desert-scapes of Shaba, and the world-renowned plains of the Maasai Mara.

Shaba National Reserve is a dry rugged wilderness with bubbling hot springs, rolling savannas, and miles of scrub and desert. The park is home to a variety of wildlife, including elephants, buffalo, cheetahs, and lions. You will stay at Joy’s Camp, which is built on the site of Joy Adamson’s tented home.
Maasai Mara National Reserve is the pinnacle of most safaris to Kenya and is known for its vast plains and the wildebeest migration. You will stay at Elephant Pepper Camp, a secluded tented camp with stunning views of the Mara plains.
