Animals on the Runway - Masai Mara Fly-in Safari Adventure

  • Join me for an amazing fly-in safari to the Masai Mara National Park in Kenya. I flew on the Safarilink Cessna Grand Caravan from Nairobi Wilson Airport. Within 20 minutes of departure, the landscape and scenery changed dramatically; grass became greener and I spotted a group of elephants while flying low over the national park. It is really Africa bush flying! There are a total of 11 active airstrips in the Masai Mara area. My flight made a stop at Kichwa Tempo to drop off tourists before continuing to Mara Serena where I am staying.
    I spotted some Giraffes on landing at the dirt strip airfield as there is no fence at the airport. After landing, I did an amazing safari and spotted the Big 5 animals. The next day, I flew back to Nairobi on the Safarilink Dash-8-100 seated behind the pilots in the cockpit on the milk run.
