Fly-In Kenya’s Samburu and Mara Safari

This breathtaking 7-day fly-in safari combines the dry and savagely beautiful bush country of Samburu Game Reserve with the open rolling grasslands of the Masai Mara plains. Perfect for families, couples and first time travelers, this itinerary saves you money and time by using local flights giving you the opportunity to experience a high quality safari at an affordable price.

On arrival at the JKIA, you’ll be met and transferred to the elegantly sophisticated Eka Hotel where you’ll spend your first night. Its location offers easy access to the Jomo Kenyatta International as well as the main attractions like the Giraffe Centre and National Museum

The next stop is the delightful Elephant Bedroom Camp in Samburu. It is a small and exclusive camp of 12 luxury tents – all furnished in rustic African style. Herds of elephants, prides of lions or the solitary leopard amongst other animals are close by, providing excellent game viewing.

Finally, the magnificent Masai Mara, famed for its vast numbers of plains, game and the spectacular big cats. Discreetly tucked on the edge of the riverine woodlands, is Entim Camp. From the shaded seclusion of this attractively designed camp, guests can relax in luxury and admire unforgettable views over the Mara River and across expansive plains, with the distant backdrops of undulating escarpments and volcanically sculpted hills.

From the veranda of each tent, it is even possible to witness the breathtaking sight of thousands of Wildebeest crossing the river during their annual migration through this vast wilderness area
