Masai Mara by Air
No long road trips - a scenic two-hour flight from Wilson Airport straight into the heart of Kenya's greatest national park.
Skip the road, fly straight into the Mara
Want to safari in style? We'll whisk you to local Wilson Airport for the easy two-hour flight to the famous park, rising above the plains, farms and forests of Kenya below, with Mt. Kilimanjaro's snow-capped peak visible en route.
You'll touch down at a convenient airstrip near the Masai Mara, where your guide is waiting with an open-sided 4x4 Land Cruiser jeep, ready to begin your first game drive over the park's rolling hills.
