4 Days Classic Journeys Flying Safari

Upon arrival you’ll be met and transferred to the Wilson Airport, where you’ll connect to your flight to the Masai Mara. At the Masai Mara airstrip, you will be met and transferred to the Karen Blixen Camp. After you unpack, settle in and have lunch, you’ll set off on your first game drive, where you’ll see the Mara’s vast, rolling plains and some of the most sought-after wildlife in Africa. (The Mara is known for its abundance of wildlife: lions, elephants and giraffe are just a few examples.) You’ll wrap up your day with a sundowner, a night game drive back to the camp and dinner followed by gin & tonics around a campfire.

Karen Blixen Camp comprises large luxury canvas tents, each placed with privacy and undisturbed view along the Mara River. The stylish restaurant, the reception, the lounge and bar and the gift shop with internet are set on a raised wooden deck and furnished with accurate reproductions of Karen Blixen’s private furniture to fit in with the cozy atmosphere.

The beautiful laid swimming pool offers relaxation and even a little exercise in-between game drives. Our resident masseuse offers a wide range of wellness and beauty treatments.
