7 Day Lewa & Masai Mara Fly-In Safari: Lewa Safari Camp & Sand River Camp
This seven-day fly-in safari pairs two of Kenya’s finest wildlife areas. After a night at Ole Sereni in Nairobi, fly north to Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, part of the Mount Kenya UNESCO World Heritage Site and famous for its black and white rhinos and northern species such as Grevy’s zebra, reticulated giraffe and Beisa oryx. Then fly south to the Masai Mara for three nights at Sand River Camp, where big cats and the great migration take centre stage. Short scheduled flights replace long road transfers, leaving more time for game viewing.
Flight times are set by the airline and can change; we confirm your schedule when you book. Child policies vary by camp, so please contact us before booking with children.
