Which air-transfer legs are included?

Four air-transfer route legs are included: Nairobi to the Maasai Mara, Maasai Mara to Samburu, Samburu to Amboseli, and Amboseli to Nairobi. The first and last flights use Nairobi Wilson Airport. The booked flight itinerary specifies departure times and any intermediate stops; these are four route legs, not a promise of four nonstop services.

What does each two-night stay provide?

Each destination has an arrival-afternoon game drive and a full middle day of morning and afternoon wildlife viewing. The six nights are divided into two in the Maasai Mara, two in Samburu and two in Amboseli. A brief final Amboseli drive precedes the Nairobi return flight on day seven.

How do the Samburu and Maasai Mara programmes differ?

The Mara drives explore grassland and riverine wildlife habitats. Samburu provides a semi-arid landscape around the Ewaso Nyiro River, with riverine woodland and acacia scrub. Each destination has an arrival drive and a full viewing day to explore its habitats.

What happens on the final day?

A brief final drive around the Amboseli lodge surroundings precedes the transfer to the airstrip. The included flight returns to Nairobi Wilson Airport. The booked flight itinerary determines the departure and arrival times; no fixed connection time is established by this programme.

How are the selected services confirmed?

The written quotation identifies the accommodation, rooms, game-drive vehicle arrangements, travel dates and party configuration. The booked flight itinerary sets out flight timings and connections. Changes to services or additional nights require a revised written programme and price.

Kenya fly-in safari: seven days across three destinations

This private seven-day Kenya fly-in safari connects the Maasai Mara, Samburu and Amboseli, with two nights at each destination. Four included air-transfer route legs link Nairobi Wilson, the Mara, Samburu, Amboseli and the return to Nairobi Wilson. The booked flight itinerary specifies timings, connections and any intermediate stops; the route does not promise four nonstop services.

Each destination has an arrival-afternoon game drive and a full day of morning and afternoon wildlife viewing. The Mara drives explore grassland and riverine habitats, Samburu adds the Ewaso Nyiro River corridor and semi-arid landscapes, and Amboseli provides plains, woodland and wetland viewing. Views towards Mount Kilimanjaro depend on cloud and visibility. The included sundowner service forms part of each destination stay. A brief final Amboseli drive precedes the Nairobi return flight on day seven.

The quotation identifies the selected accommodation, rooms, game-drive vehicle arrangements, travel dates and party configuration. Flights and airstrip transfers are distinct parts of the journey. Wildlife encounters follow the animals found along the permitted viewing routes; particular sightings are not guaranteed.
