Safari Overview
Fly from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara and stay at historic Keekorok Lodge, in the path of the Great Migration.
This flying safari takes you from Nairobi's Wilson Airport to the Maasai Mara in about an hour. You stay two nights at Keekorok Lodge, the first lodge in the reserve, opened in 1962 and ideally placed on the migration route in the south of the Mara. Days are spent on morning and afternoon game drives in search of the Big Five, black-maned lions, cheetahs and, from July to October, the wildebeest migration. It is an easy, time-efficient way to experience the Mara in comfort.
