This is safari travel at its most refined, in which private bush flights replace long drives, and each landing delivers you directly into the heart of untouched wilderness. The journey from the Masai Mara to the Serengeti and Ngorongoro is not just efficient, it’s effortlessly elegant.
Nairobi to the Masai Mara
Your journey begins with a short flight from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport into the Masai Mara.
Within an hour, you’re descending onto a bush airstrip such as Ol Kiombo, Keekorok, or Mara Serena. These are simple dirt runways with no terminals and no queues.
Instead:
- Your luggage is unloaded by hand
- Your guide is waiting nearby
- Your transfer becomes your first game drive
Masai Mara to Serengeti (Cross-Border Flight)
Flying between Kenya and Tanzania is the most efficient way to move through this ecosystem.
Flights depart from Mara airstrips and head south into the Serengeti, sometimes stopping briefly for immigration procedures.
You may:
- Stay on the aircraft
- Or step off briefly during a stop
Landing points include:
- Kogatende (north)
- Seronera (central)
- Grumeti (west)
Each arrival is met by your next guide, ready to continue the safari immediately.
Serengeti to Ngorongoro
From the Serengeti, a short flight takes you to Lake Manyara or Ndutu.
From there, you’ll transfer by road into the Ngorongoro highlands, a scenic drive that marks a shift from open plains to lush volcanic landscapes.
The Airstrip Experience
At every stop:
- There are no formal airport buildings
- Guides coordinate directly with pilots
- Transfers happen quickly and personally
This seamless exchange is what makes fly-in safaris so efficient and enjoyable.
This Circuit Works because it:
- Follows the Great Migration route
- Minimises travel time
- Connects iconic parks naturally
- Keeps the safari immersive from start to finish
This is safari travel at its most fluid. Every landing opens the door to a new landscape, and every flight reveals the scale of East Africa’s wilderness.
