Safari Overview

This 6-Day Luxury Fly-In Safari is built for travellers who want to see more of Kenya's best wildlife destinations without spending long hours on the road. Instead of driving between parks, you take scheduled light-aircraft flights from Nairobi's Wilson Airport directly into Amboseli and the Masai Mara — maximising your time on game drives and minimising time in transit.

You'll spend three nights at Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge, in the heart of Amboseli National Park beneath the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro, before flying on to Mara Serena Safari Lodge in the Mara Triangle for two nights of some of the best game viewing in Africa.

This is a fully private, tailor-made safari — all flights, park fees, accommodation and airstrip transfers are arranged by PMK Tours. You just show up at Wilson Airport and enjoy.
