Endangered Species Flying Safari: 9 Magical Days in Kenya

When an African safari comes to mind, few would picture it as a luxury travel option, but Scenic Air Safaris does just that with their tours of Kenya. Their newest offering, Nine Days Endangered Species Flying Safari is an incredible and unique safari experience that we can really only describe as magical. You’ll see animals that are endangered in a setting where they’re working to preserve these species and you’ll not only have a tour guide, but you’ll also have experts in different species on hand to teach you more. All of this is included in your tour as is the luxury private plane and luxury accommodations you’ll experience on this once-in-a-lifetime journey.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) maintains a Red List of species of animals that are considered endangered. Sadly, the list is quite long. One African nation leads the way in the preservation of endangered species: Kenya. Scenic Air Safaris will pair you with a knowledgeable guide who is a world-renowned specialist conservationist. These conservationists are leaders in their field with focuses on different species.

While a nine-day safari may seem extensive and may be a big commitment, the nine-day itinerary is the trip of a lifetime and will seem too short as it nears the end. The itinerary, in brief, includes the following:

  • Spirit of the Masai Mara, Masai Mara (Days 1 and 2)
  • Elephant Watch Camp, Samburu (Days 3 and 4)
  • Sosian Lodge/Laikipia Wilderness, Laikipia (Days 5 and 6)
  • Sirikoi/Lewa Safari Camp, Lewa (Days 7 and 8)
  • Nairobi (Day 9)

Your Trip

You and at least one other (but up to a maximum of 10 passengers) will fit nicely in the aircraft. You’ll have the services of a wildlife expert at each destination on the itinerary as well as the services of a Kenyan Professional Safari Guide. The tour will transport you on ground throughout the tour as well as provide accommodation on each leg. Your trip includes all fees to enter parks, conservation fees, and also house wines, beers, and soft drinks when visiting each property. It includes many activities as well, bush drives, evening talks, bush walks, and cultural dancers. You’ll be well cared for throughout your journey through Kenya. You’ll need to book your own transportation to and from the tour and if you require premium drinks and champagne throughout the trip, you’ll have to pay for those as well as gratuities to the staff and guides.

Don’t think that a safari means sacrificing comfort. Scenic Air Safaris conducts their tours in luxurious comfort in a Cessna Grand Caravan. The Caravan’s Oasis Luxury interior is the best offered in the Cessna line. The seats are fully reclinable and fully rotating for full views as you listen to your guide on your personal headset which also allows you to communicate with the others in your group. The bush pilots are well trained and very experienced. They’ll keep you safe in air conditioned luxury, first class-style comfort as you explore Kenya.

Camping safari doesn’t mean pitching a tent, sleeping on the ground, and roughing it. On the contrary, this safari tour puts you in places like the Sirikoi Lodge.  You will relax in a private, luxury tented room with an en-suite bathroom that has a tub and a shower.  You will also enjoy a fireplace, private deck, complimentary wi-fi, and the comforts you appreciate with any luxury accommodation.
