Private Safari vs Fly-In Safari
Private describes the level of control you have over your vehicle, guide and pace, while fly-in describes how you travel between locations.
Two decisions shape your safari
Your Kenya safari includes two separate decisions, each with different options.
How you travel
This is about how you move between locations.
Road journey
Travel between locations by private 4x4 vehicle, with scenic stops along the way.
Light-aircraft connection
Fly between locations on scheduled safari aircraft, saving time over longer distances.
How you safari
This is about the style of game drives at each destination.
Private game drives
Your own vehicle and guide, with the freedom to set your pace and focus.
Lodge-organised game drives
Game drives may be shared with other guests or privately booked, depending on your arrangement.
Private road safari
A private road safari gives you your own vehicle and guide for game drives, with the freedom to set your pace and spend more time in the places that interest you most.
Fly-in safari
A fly-in safari uses light aircraft to connect between locations, reducing time on the road and giving you more time in each destination. Your game drives can be private or lodge-organised, depending on your preference.
You can combine both
Many travellers choose to fly between locations to save time, then enjoy private game drives at the destinations where flexibility matters most. This gives you a safari that fits your interests, time and travel style.
