Black Kite Scenic Fly-In Safari
This remarkable fly-in safari combines Kenya’s diverse landscapes and exceptional wildlife experiences across four iconic destinations: Nairobi National Park, Meru National Park, the Maasai Mara ecosystem and Amboseli National Park.
Your journey begins at The Emakoko, beautifully situated along the southern boundary of Nairobi National Park. Enjoy exciting game drives or explore nearby attractions such as the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Centre and Karen Blixen Museum. Despite its convenient location near Nairobi’s airports, the lodge offers a peaceful wilderness setting overlooking the scenic Mbagathi River.
Continue your adventure to Elsa’s Kopje in Meru, Elephant Pepper Camp in the Mara North Conservancy and Tortilis Camp in Amboseli. Each destination offers breathtaking views, comfortable accommodation and excellent opportunities to experience Kenya’s wildlife away from busy safari areas. Guided walking safaris at selected camps provide a closer connection to nature and the African wilderness.
Throughout the journey, enjoy experienced safari guides, personalised hospitality and rewarding wildlife encounters. Discover Meru’s rhino sanctuary, Amboseli’s magnificent big-tusked elephants and the opportunity for night game drives in the Maasai Mara conservancies. From the Big Five to fascinating birdlife and other remarkable species, this fly-in safari offers an unforgettable exploration of Kenya’s natural treasures.
