This 5 Star Group Tour takes you from park to park in a luxuriously-fitted light aeroplane. The small group you will be travelling with will range in size from a minimum of two to a maximum of ten and, of course, all accommodation is individual and private.  

Your journey will start when we collect you from your hotel or Nairobi's international airport and take you to Wilson Airport where you willl board your flight to the Masai Mara. Upon your arrival at this famed safari park your personal guide will greet you and drive you to Albatros Travel's very own eco safari lodge - the Karen Blixen Camp (see video below).

The camp, located on the banks of the Mara River, consists of 22 luxuriously-appointed tents and is situated in a superb position overlooking the dramatic Siria Escarpment  with the expansive Masai Mara plains providing a stunning backdrop.

Following lunch at the camp you will take your first game drive, discovering for yourself what it is that makes this park one of the world's premier safari destinations, returning in time for sunset cocktails and dinner prepared by the Karen Blixen Camp's internationally trained chefs.

These creatures do not actually have red skin, instead, they like to roll around in the iron-rich dirt and end up covered from tusk to tail in dark red dust, which protects their skin from the fierce African sun. They are quite a sight!
