Mombasa Air Safari

Mombasa Air Safari – Fly Directly Into the Wild from the Kenyan Coast

Mombasa air safari options offer a fast, scenic, and convenient way to access Kenya’s top wildlife destinations directly from the coast. If you’re staying in Mombasa, Diani Beach, or Watamu and want to experience a true African safari without long road transfers, flying is the perfect solution.

Skip the long hours on the road. With an air safari from Mombasa, you can be tracking lions in the Masai Mara or watching elephants in Amboseli within hours of leaving the beach.

What Is a Mombasa Air Safari?

A Mombasa air safari is a fly-in safari where you take a small charter or scheduled aircraft from Moi International Airport or Ukunda Airstrip directly to national parks or game reserves. It’s ideal for:

• Luxury travelers and honeymooners

• Families or groups seeking comfort

• Time-sensitive itineraries

• Guests staying on the Kenyan coast (Mombasa, Diani, Watamu)
