Description Pricing Itinerary

‘Luxury’ and ‘safari’ are two words that do not have to be mutually exclusive. Enjoy Yampu’s unique Luxury Air Safari that allows you to travel in style while seeing the most of Kenya. Spending less time on the road and more time in Kenya’s top national parks and reserves, you will fly from safari to safari.

The first stop in this luxury tour is the Masai Mara Game Reserve, where you’ll stay at the Karen Blixen Camp, a top-of-the-line lodge named after the author of Out of Africa. Known for its abundance of wildlife, expansive land and unparalleled, annual wildebeest migration, the Masai Mara is Kenya’s most popular inland park.

From there, you’ll fly to Amboseli, a small, but distinct park, known for its elephants and set apart by its backdrop Mt. Kilimanjaro. Last but not least, you’ll head to Tsavo, Kenya’s largest national park, where the grounds themselves are stand-out, from the remote, arid plains of Tsavo East to the extinct volcanic cones and natural springs of Tsavo West.

If you want to spend more time in Africa, you may want to consider customizing your trip by adding one of our side-trips, such as Lake Manyara National Park and Ngorongoro National Park or Diani Beach and Tiwi Beach. Please inquire about these options with one of our travel consultants.

This trip can be customized to fit your individual travel dates and any specific requests you may have. Your travel consultant will prepare a customized itinerary for you.

This tour includes airfare allowance from New York, on non-holiday dates. You do not need to fly via New York; Yampu will fly you the most direct way to your city of destination. Depending on your travel dates and proximity of travel, we will quote you the most economical surcharge from your city or country of origin.
