8-DAY FLYING SAFARI
Why this safari?
• Cover three very different types of ecosystems while travelling in the luxury; encounter their inhabitants, whose authentic, traditional and
colourful tribal ways remain relatively untouched.
• Experience a safari tailored to ensure a seamless experience; direct flights in an executive luxury aircraft, single check-in, and additional
luggage allowance.
• Meru National Park provides an exclusive safari experience with only two camps in the 870km2 park, home to a large diversity of animals
including rare species specific to Northern Kenya; Grevy’s zebra, gerenuk, Somali ostrich and reticulated giraffe.
• Loisaba is a 57,000-acre wildlife conservancy, which is home to the less-seen and rare northern species: wild dog, Grevy’s zebra, reticulated
giraffe, greater kudu and beisa oryx.
• The Masai Mara National Reserve is home to 3 million large animals; more than half of whom come and go according to one of the world’s
largest wildlife migrations.

Masai Mara National Reserve, Masai Mara
In a secluded location on the banks of the Sand River, Elewana Sand
River Masai Mara is a luxury tented lodge offering wildlife viewing off
the beaten track.
Consisting of the main mess area and 16 tents, the canvas and wood build
replicates the tented safaris of the 1920s. The spacious tents each feature
a private deck and an outdoor shower. Wildlife wanders in and out of the
camp to cross the river below; this includes a large proportion of the three
million wildebeest that move from the Serengeti into the Mara during the
great migration.
Before or after your daily game drives, relax by the pool or take a book
and lose yourself in your surroundings; visit local Masai villages; enjoy
sundowners on the open Mara plains; eat breakfast in a dry river bed. This
camp allows guests to experience ‘the bush’ in its natural form, without
the loss of modern luxury.
