3-Day Flying Safari to Tipilikwani Mara Camp

Your safari begins in Nairobi, where you check in for your scheduled flight to an airstrip serving the Masai Mara. Enjoy aerial views of Kenya’s changing landscapes as you leave the city behind and approach the Mara ecosystem. On arrival, meet your safari guide and transfer by 4x4 vehicle to Tipilikwani Mara Camp, with wildlife viewing possible along the way depending on the route and timing.

After checking in and enjoying lunch, head out for an afternoon game drive across the open grasslands and riverine habitats. Search for elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes and, with luck, lions or cheetahs. Your guide will adapt the route to recent sightings and the time available before returning to camp. Enjoy dinner and your first evening in the Mara wilderness.

Meals: Lunch and dinner, subject to flight timing and the camp's meal arrangements.

Transport: Nairobi to the Masai Mara by scheduled or charter flight; airstrip to camp by 4x4, with transfer time depending on the allocated airstrip.

Enjoy breathtaking aerial views of the Rift Valley and rolling savannahs as you descend into one of Africa’s premier wildlife destinations.

Your guide will welcome you at the airstrip and take you on a short game drive en route to Tipilikwani Mara Camp.

After check-in and lunch, relax before your afternoon game drive, where lions, giraffes, and elephants roam freely.

Return to camp for dinner and a magical night under the Mara skies.

Meals: Lunch, Dinner

Transport: Flight (approx. 45 min) + game drive transfer

Rise early for a game drive when wildlife is often active and the morning light is ideal for photography. Explore the Masai Mara with your guide, searching for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, zebras, hyenas and other wildlife. The open plains and riverine habitats support a rich range of species, and your guide will help you understand their behaviour and the ecosystem they depend on.

After breakfast, continue with another game drive or enjoy a longer outing with a picnic lunch, depending on the camp's arrangements and your preferred pace. If you travel during the Great Migration period, you may encounter large herds of wildebeest and zebras, although migration movements and river crossings vary by season and are never guaranteed. Return to camp in the late afternoon for relaxation, dinner and overnight.

Meals: Breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Transport: Game drives in a pop-up-roof 4x4 safari vehicle; distance varies with wildlife sightings and the chosen route.

Enjoy an early breakfast or, if the return flight schedule permits, take a short morning game drive to make the most of your final hours in the Mara. Look for wildlife moving across the plains in the cool morning air, and enjoy the landscape one last time before returning to camp to freshen up and check out.

Transfer to the designated airstrip for your return flight to Nairobi. On arrival, connect with your onward arrangements or transfer to your hotel, depending on your plans. Your three-day flying safari concludes with a concentrated wildlife experience, a comfortable camp stay and the convenience of air travel between Nairobi and the Masai Mara.

Meals: Breakfast; lunch depending on the flight schedule and package arrangement.

Transport: Camp to airstrip by 4x4, followed by a flight to Nairobi. A morning game drive is possible only if it fits the confirmed departure schedule.
