Trip overview
Three days of pure Mara, fly in, stay at a fine tented camp, fly out. Perfect for time-poor travellers, weekend escapes, or to add to a Diani beach holiday.
Your weekend in the wild
Sometimes you don't have ten days. Sometimes you have three, and you want to spend every minute of them deep in the bush. This fly-in safari shaves off the long road transfer and drops you straight into the Mara, with two full days of game drives book-ended by quick flights from Nairobi (or onwards to Diani).
Best for travellers visiting Kenya for business, layovers, or a beach holiday extension.

What guests say
I am a wildlife photographer and I have travelled across Africa for twenty years. Afriroam's knowledge of the conservancies and their relationships with the guides made this the most productive safari I have ever done. The lighting, the patience, the access, exceptional.
Our second safari, but our first with a Kenyan-owned operator, and it's the only way we'll travel here from now on. The conservancy stay was a revelation. We watched a leopard hunt at twilight from our tent. The Afriroam team handled every logistic from JFK to JKIA seamlessly.
Three generations of my family, me, my daughter and her two teenagers, and somehow Afriroam designed a trip that thrilled all of us. The kids loved cycling through Hell's Gate, my daughter loved the lodges, and I loved that everything just worked. Honest, kind, and brilliant at what they do.
