The Maasai Mara is roughly a five-to-six-hour drive from Nairobi each way, which uses up a large share of a short trip. This itinerary replaces both drives with a scheduled light-aircraft flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport, so you reach the reserve in about an hour and spend nearly all of your three days actually watching wildlife.<\/p>\n
Day one starts with a transfer to Wilson Airport and the flight to one of the Mara’s airstrips, chosen to suit your lodge. You are met on the ground, taken to the lodge for lunch, and head out on an afternoon game drive. Day two is a full day in the reserve, with morning and afternoon drives either side of a relaxed lunch back at camp. Day three includes a final game drive where the flight schedule allows, before the flight back to Nairobi.<\/p>\n
Flights are scheduled light-aircraft services, and light aircraft have strict baggage allowances \u2014 commonly around 15 kg per person in a soft-sided bag, confirmed with your booking. Flights land at Wilson Airport rather than JKIA, and schedules can shift with weather, so we suggest an evening or later international departure, or a night in Nairobi, rather than a tight same-day connection.<\/p>\n
The price shown is a guide per adult sharing a twin room, full board, and includes the return flights, park fees and game drives. Airfares vary by season and airline, so the final figure is confirmed with your quote before you pay. If you would rather keep the cost down, the road-transfer version of this trip is our Maasai Mara 3-Day Luxury Safari.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
