Two African giants. Millions of animals. One extraordinary journey. This Sky Safari in East Africa unites Kenya and Tanzania in a seamless aerial adventure, revealing the region’s most iconic landscapes and wildlife spectacles with exceptional efficiency and style.
With no long road transfers, you spend your days immersed in the bush: tracking big cats, learning the rhythm of the wild with expert guides, and unwinding at sundown with sweeping views and perfectly timed sundowners.
Your journey begins on the open savannahs of Kenya, where wildlife thrives beneath star-filled skies. Touch down in sight of snow-cappedΒ KilimanjaroΒ to wonder atΒ Amboseli’sΒ huge elephant herds roaming in the mountain’s shadow.
Fly on to the wild heart of Loisaba in the Laikipia region, a pioneering conservation reserve in northern Kenya. Here, dramatic escarpments and vast plateaus protect an astonishing diversity of species.
From there, take to the skies again for front-row seats to nature’s greatest theatre. TheΒ Masai Mara National Park and the Serengeti National Park deliver predator-rich plains and, seasonally, the thunder of the Great Migration.
Your journey culminates in the awe-inspiring Β Ngorongoro Crater – a World Heritage Site and one of the most wildlife-dense places on Earth.
This carefully curated Sky Safari in East Africa delivers maximum variety and adventure in high style, with high efficiency. Throughout, private flights link exceptional camps and lodges deep within the wilderness.
There’s no needless waiting or stops en route. You’ll be driven straight onto the airstrip to board the elegant private aircraft with only eight seats.
Then you soar straight to your next exquisite home, deep in the wilderness. That means more time tracking big cats on foot, learning the rhythm of the wild with expert guides, or chinking G&T glasses as the sun sinks over sweeping views.
This Sky Safari combines executive aircraft, outstanding guiding, and carefully selected lodges for a refined yet adventurous experience. It also travels lightly: operating on a carbon-negative basis and contributing to Land & Life. This foundation committed to a sustainable future that sees local communities benefit from tourism, safeguarding nature for the next generation.
