A night in the Mara and four game drives, with flights from Nairobi that save you a day on the road.
If you have only two days, flying is the way to see the Mara. The flight from Nairobi takes under an hour, you land on an airstrip in the reserve, and your first game drive starts the same afternoon.
It is a short, full trip that gives you two evenings and two mornings in the best light, with a night at Governors’ Camp on the Mara River.

They are sample rates for planning and will be confirmed when you enquire, as lodge and permit prices change each year. The flight times depend on the airline schedule. The hot-air balloon is optional and not included.
Best time for this trip Jun to Oct, Dec to Feb
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
