8 Day Kenya Flying Safari | Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Maasai Mara & Amboseli National Park

Experience a broader introduction to Kenya on an eight day Signature flying safari through Ol Pejeta Conservancy, the Maasai Mara, and Amboseli National Park.

Begin at Ol Pejeta, where rare wildlife encounters and conservation bring another dimension to the traditional safari experience. Continue to the Maasai Mara for classic Big Five game viewing across its open savannahs, before ending in Amboseli among large elephant herds and the unmistakable backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro.

Travel between each region by air and stay in our carefully selected Signature collection of lodges and camps, allowing you to experience three very different parts of Kenya within one journey.

Why We Designed It This Way

Choose this journey if you want to see more of Kenya.

Eight days gives us the time to combine three regions without making the journey feel rushed. Rather than focusing on one aspect of safari, this itinerary gives you a wider perspective of Kenya, bringing together conservation, classic game viewing, and some of the country’s most recognizable landscapes.

Flying between each region makes that broader itinerary possible while protecting your time on safari.
