Package Overview

3-Day Masai Mara Safari by Flight from Mombasa

Introduction

A visit to Kenya is never complete without experiencing the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the most iconic safari destinations in Africa. If you’re holidaying along the Kenyan coast in Mombasa and dream of witnessing the Big Five, endless savannahs, and perhaps the Great Wildebeest Migration, then a 3-day Masai Mara safari by flight is the perfect choice.

At Steve & Richards Safaris, we make it simple and convenient for travelers to connect from the coast directly into the heart of the Masai Mara. Flying saves you time on long road transfers and allows you to maximize your time in the reserve.
