Kenya: Flying Safari & Chale Island

Experience two sides of Kenya in one seamless journey, from the open plains of the Masai Mara to the tranquil shores of a private island. A light aircraft flight takes you straight into the heart of the Masai Mara National Reserve, giving you more time on game drives and less time on the road. After days spent tracking wildlife and toasting the sunset with campfire sundowners, you switch from safari to sea and fly on to Chale Island, where white sands and warm waters invite you to slow down and unwind. 

At Surana Mara Camp (part of the Surana Luxury Collection) you’ll stay in an intimate tented camp that blends high-end comfort with a true sense of the wild. All-inclusive dining, guided game drives and a complimentary sundowner set the rhythm of your days in the Mara. Then, on Chale Island, four nights at Chale Island Resort give you a private island hideaway with full board dining, quiet beaches and a suite of complimentary activities. From paddling at sunrise and exploring lagoon waters to natural sulphur mudbaths and guest-led clean-ups, each day offers a new way to connect with the coast.
