Overview
A signature journey, designed by East African specialists.
Big Five Air Safari is a 5-day / 4-night fly-in safari travelling from Mombasa through Tsavo and Masai Mara before concluding in Mombasa. The route combines the vast southern Kenyan wilderness and its varied savannah landscapes in Tsavo and open savannahs, big-cat country and classic East African wildlife viewing in Masai Mara. Air transfers shorten the longer sectors, leaving more time for game drives, guided experiences and the atmosphere of each destination.
