Wings Over Kenya SafariSAFARI HIGHLIGHTS:This exclusive flying safari showcases some of Kenya's most famous and most diverse wilderness areas, while travelling 'on the wing' allows you to optimize every minute of your Kenya stay. Commencing in Amboseli, the Wings Safari offers guaranteed sightings of large herds of elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Flying to the far north, there's the rugged beauty of the arid northern frontier district to be enjoyed. A day later, you fly south-west to the Tanzanian border where the Masai Mara and the Serengeti share the same massive eco-system, which is most famous for the annual migration of the wildebeest. Travelling on light aircraft with personalized meet and greet services throughout, this safari is light on travel-time and long on safari experiences. It also features some of Kenya's most charmingly luxurious tented camps.
