Flying Safari
Northern Frontiers to Masai Mara
Fly from North to South
Kenya is famed for the Masai Mara, with its prolific game sprawled across vast open plains and iconic landscapes. It is also the location of one of Mother Nature’s most incredible spectacles, the annual wildebeest migration, where millions of wildebeest, zebra and plains game, cross the Mara in search of fresh grasses, closely followed by numerous predators, including lion, leopard, cheetah, hyena and wild dog.
Flying over these stunning landscapes is a true highlight of any safari in Kenya. On this flying adventure, you will also visit the Lewa region and Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy near the Matthews Range in northern Kenya. Exclusivity, sensational game viewing, experienced guiding, 4WD game drives and thrilling walking safaris are just some of the highlights awaiting you on this flying safari across Kenya.

We wanted the opportunity to see as many wildlife parks as possible and the Classic Safari Company provided an action-packed itinerary that included six, with 11 tiger sightings and nine leopard. This was overlaid with an introduction to Jaisalmer, Jaipur and the 'real' India. Pench and Panna were the hidden gems of a really great trip, very well organised, seamless and enjoyable. As a solo traveller I felt incredibly safe at all times. I want to go back!
