8-Day Kenya and Tanzania Private Charter Flight Safari

When you land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, our team will greet you and arrange your private transfer to a luxury hotel in Nairobi. VIP airport meet-and-assist will be set up ahead of time, with details confirmed before you arrive.

Settle into your room and enjoy a calm start to your trip. Depending on your arrival time, you can choose an optional excursion or simply relax at the hotel for the afternoon.

Optional Experiences in Nairobi

• Sheldrick Wildlife Trust: Attend a pre-booked visiting session to learn about elephant rescue and rehabilitation, subject to availability.
• Giraffe Centre: Discover the conservation story of Rothschild’s giraffes.
• Nairobi National Park: Enjoy an introductory game drive if your arrival schedule allows sufficient time.

After your excursions, your driver will return you to the hotel, where you can enjoy a relaxing evening before your private flight to the Maasai Mara.

Following breakfast, you will be driven privately to Wilson Airport for your private charter flight to the airstrip that serves your chosen Mara accommodation.

Enjoy your private aircraft as you leave the city and head into the countryside. The camp's guide will meet you at the airstrip and take you to your luxury accommodation. Once you have checked in, have lunch and then get settled into your suite before taking part in the afternoon game drive.

Explore the plains in search of elephants, giraffes, grazing herds, and predators. Your guide will track recent sightings and explain the wildlife behaviors you observe.

If you are interested in booking an exclusive-use safari villa in the Maasai Mara, you can request one. This is a great option for families or friends traveling together, as it includes private living spaces, dining, and customized guiding.

Return to camp for dinner and spend your first night in the wilderness.

Option 1: Morning & Afternoon Game Drives

Start your day with an early morning game drive as the plains come to life. While your guide explains the tracks and recent sightings, take the opportunity to spot lions, elephants, buffalo, and other animals.

Go back to the camp for lunch and then spend the afternoon in a relaxed manner. Should you wish to consider tented camps that have private plunge pools in Kenya, we will be able to suggest appropriate properties and suite categories when you are arranging your booking.

You can then take part in another game drive, stopping close to rivers and water sources where there is a good deal of wildlife activity and thus enjoyable viewing; however, during the migration season the trips may be directed towards the locations of the herds, even though it cannot be guaranteed that river crossings will take place.

Go back to the camp or lodge to have dinner.

Option 2: Balloon Safari & Bush Breakfast

Set off before dawn if you want to go on an optional hot-air balloon safari and watch the morning light cover the terrain before landing to have breakfast in the bush. Reunite with your guide, then continue with a game drive for the remainder of the day.

Drive across the plains, staying with your driver-guide and keeping up with the wildlife activity that has recently occurred.

Your driver-guide will drive deep into the reserve to discover more hiding spots for the wild animals. Alternatively, you can choose to remain at the premises of your accommodation and enjoy activities such as swimming and spa treatments.

After breakfast, check out and transfer to the airstrip for your private charter flight to the Serengeti.

Your flight arrangements will include the required immigration and customs clearances between Kenya and Tanzania. The exact routing, clearance stops, and any aircraft changes will be confirmed before departure.

Enjoy views of the changing landscape as your journey continues toward the Serengeti. Lunch arrangements depend on the confirmed flight schedule: enjoy lunch at camp if arrival permits, or a self-sponsored lunch while in transit.

Your Tanzanian guide welcomes you on arrival and accompanies you to your luxury camp or lodge. Settle into your suite before joining an afternoon game drive, depending on your arrival time.

Return to your accommodation for dinner and your first overnight stay in the Serengeti.

Begin your day with an early morning game drive around the camp. Look out for lions, elephants, giraffes, buffalo, and grazing herds, following the current wildlife activity.

Stop at rivers and waterholes, which offer great wildlife viewing. Your guide will explain how water and grazing areas influence animal movements.

Return to your accommodation for lunch and some relaxation. Enjoy the terrace views before your afternoon game drive, then return for dinner.

Start early with another game drive, giving you plenty of time to explore different areas and see the animals that interest you. Return for lunch and spend a leisurely afternoon. Relax on the terrace, read a book, or use the camp’s facilities before your next outing.

A final meal in the wilderness. If you wish to celebrate a birthday, anniversary, or family occasion with private dining, we can arrange this based on availability and at an extra cost.

After breakfast, check out of your accommodation and head to the airstrip for your private charter flight back to Nairobi.

We will schedule your departure and plan your route, taking into account airstrip operations and the required procedures for leaving Tanzania and arriving in Kenya. Enjoy lunch at your convenience according to your schedule, and arrange for your private driver to meet you at the Wilson Airport where you will arrive.

Depending on your plans, you can transfer to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport or your hotel.

Take home memories of the Maasai Mara’s wildlife, the wide-open Serengeti, and all the experiences you enjoyed during your journey.
