Why fly to Masai Mara
The Masai Mara is Kenya's most famous reserve and the Kenyan half of the Great Migration. Our flights serve the main Mara airstrips, so most camps collect guests within minutes of landing and you can be on a game drive the same morning. Morning departures are best if you want a full first game-drive day; afternoon departures suit guests connecting from an international arrival at JKIA.
- Great Migration river crossings, roughly July to October
- Big Five game viewing all year round
- Sunrise hot air balloon safaris over the plains
- Direct airstrip transfers to Mara conservancy camps
