Arrive in Nairobi & Fly to Masai Mara National Reserve

On this holiday, we offer a ‘meet and assist’ service. As soon as you disembark the aircraft from your international flight, you will receive a warm welcome from a friendly representative who will escort you through immigration, customs and baggage collection. They will remain with you until you meet your driver in the arrivals area. You will then be transferred to the domestic airport where you’ll board a light aircraft flight to the Masai Mara National Reserve.

Upon arrival at the Masai Mara, you will be met by a representative and driven to Saruni Wild where you will stay for the next four nights.

We work with a number of luxury lodges and safari camps within the Masai Mara and in the outlying conservancies (including Sir Richard Branson’s 12-tented luxury safari camp within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy). We will ensure that we match you to the most suitable accommodation for your requirements, sense of style and budget.
