9-Day Luxury Fly-in Kenya Safari: Meru, Samburu & Masai Mara

Samburu National Reserve 9 days / 8 nights

Overview

This fly-in safari connects three of Kenya’s most distinctive reserves by scheduled light aircraft, so more of your time goes to game drives rather than roads. It suits senior travellers and anyone who prefers comfort and a lower-effort pace.

Highlights

Meru: rhino sanctuary and quiet trails
Samburu: northern species such as Grevy’s zebra and gerenuk
Masai Mara: big cats and open plains
Short flights between parks

Best time to go

Dry months from June to October and December to February make for the easiest game viewing.
