3 Days Masai Mara flying Safari - Mombasa

Our 3-day flight safari with Mombasa Air Safari was organized by Brian Kazungu. Everything went well. The transfer from the hotel to the airport, the domestic flights and the Governeurs Camp were a complete success! The tents of the camp are located directly on the river Mara. If you step out of the tent, you can admire hippos and crocodiles in the river. The camp has no fencing, so some warthogs ran through the tents. But occasionally hippos should be on the road at night. But no fear! There are always rangers with guns near the tents. Lunch at the camp is served outdoors. The service and the quality of the food is great! From the table you can see the Masai Mara and of course the animals! Giraffes, buffaloes, warthogs and zebras could be seen relatively close. Dinner is served by candlelight in an open tent. A very nice atmosphere! Coffee and cookies are served at the tent in the morning. Then it goes on morning game drive. We did not have the right breakfast at the camp, but in the wild on the hood of our Jeep. This is not only very adventurous, but also saves a lot of time, so that our Frühpirsch lasted 5 hours in a row! There are animals in huge herds! How many lions we saw, then we did not count! Unfortunately we have not seen a rhino, but 2 leopards. It was just unforgettable hours in the Masai Mara! We can only recommend this tour! Book with Bryan and you will spend wonderful days!

the view during a flight to the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy in Northern Kenya

A flight to the Namunyak Wildlife Conservancy shows off Kenya's stunningly remote landscape.

Experience an Air Safari Through Kenya

This safari both indulges and educates its guests.

“Everyone remembers their first 'ellie' sighting on safari.”

Simon Penfold, my Scenic Air Safaris host, was right. Through the window of our 10-seater plane, I watched a herd of elephants saunter across the Masai Mara plains with slack-jawed astonishment as we made our way to the landing strip.

It was an unforgettable beginning to my first trip with Scenic Air Safaris , a company that whisks away passengers on a private plane across Kenya , and delivers them to luxury safari camps with scenic overlooks and exquisite food and drink. But the company ethos spans well beyond pampering its guests. The driving force behind the trip is simple: Educate privileged and influential safari-goers to the plight of wildlife highlighted throughout the trip. To achieve this, trained guides, conservationists, and scientists take guests on game drives to highlight an endangered animal each day. Here are a few of the top experiences I had on the trip:

lions cubs in Kenya

Lions of the Masai Mara

When we landed in the Mara we were greeted by our Maasai guide, Dominic Matay, and David Mascall, a Nigel Thornberry-esque conservationist. As Dominic employed his eagle eye and out-of-this-world tracking skills to spot wildlife, David regaled us with stunning facts on the animals we encountered, namely lions. The Masai Mara is famous for its abundance of big cats, wildlife, and an ecosystem that boasts the highest density of lions in Africa, according to research published in Conservation Biology . It doesn’t take long to find a pride lounging in the shade or gnawing on the remains of a recent kill. Over the course of just a couple days, we counted more than 30 lions.

Low Level Flying

The most unique experience offered by Scenic Air is the transportation to each new location. Flying is a time-efficient way to get to the remote lodges where we stayed, and were like mini safaris in and of themselves. For example, the captain would casually drop to 30 feet above the ground to fly along a river while pointing out landmarks and animals from the window.

Reteti Elephant Sanctuary in the Sarara

The Reteti Elephant Sanctuary is the only wildlife orphanage in Africa that is owned by the local people. Opened just a few years ago, the goal of the sanctuary is to reintroduce elephants and other orphaned animals into the wild. We arrived at the sanctuary just in time to witness the day’s first bottle feeding. Impatient baby elephants burst through the gate and ran to their respective caretakers to guzzle down formula from an elephant-sized baby bottle.

elephants in Samburu National Reserve Kenya

  • Nat Geo Expeditions

Elephants of Samburu

Perhaps the most intense experience of the trip happened when a massive bull elephant stared me down from a few feet away. He was deciding if it was worth his time to destroy the truck I was in or continue on with his business of trying to mate with a young female nearby. We were in Samburu National Park spending the day with the Save the Elephants organization. Save the Elephants is a research and advocacy organization working to eradicate poaching and improve elephant-human relationships. Our guide for the day spent countless hours monitoring and watching the elephant group he took us to. His familiarity with the elephants allowed us to safely get close to the animals and predict what each elephant in the group would do.

Experience it Yourself

A luxury air safari is something a lucky few people get to experience, but an African safari is not exclusively reserved for the well-to-do. There are a variety of price points offered by travel advisors like Safari Professionals. “An African Safari is a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most travelers, and no two travelers are alike,” says Kili Mcgowan, the co-owner and managing director of Next Adventure , Inc., a member of Safari Professionals . “A trusted, knowledgeable African travel specialist is a must for anyone who wants to ensure that his or her valuable vacation time and investment will be well spent and will result in unforgettable memories.” Whether you choose a luxury experience or something a bit less opulent, there is a life-changing travel experience for everyone.

On clear days the views across Lake Pukaki to Aoraki Mt Cook are stunning. It has a maximum depth of 70m and like Lake Tekapo and Lake Ohau has the distinctive turquoise blue colour created by finely ground glacial rocks called “rock flour”.

Franz Josef Glacier

The Franz Josef Glacier descends from the southern alps into the rain forest of the West Coast.

Viewing the glacier from above is a highlight of an Air Safaris Grand Traverse.

air safari flights

Tasman Glacier

29km long with ice up to 800m (2600ft) deep, the Tasman is New Zealand’s longest glacier. Moraine (rock and gravel scraped or fallen from the valley walls) covers the ice for much of its length.

At 16km’s in length, the Murchison Glacier is New Zealand’s second longest. It flows in parallel valleys the Tasman and Murchison Glaciers are separated by the Malte Brun range. This range is dominated by Mt Malte Brun 3170m (10,400 ft).

air safari flights

Lake Tekapo

Lake Tekapo covers the first part of your Air Safaris Grand Traverse. Glaciers grinding against rock produce a fine powder called “rock flour”. When washed into the lake this is what produces the stunning turquoise colour. Lake Tekapo is 120m deep and has an average temperature of 7 degrees C. In the summer months it is popular for boating, water sports and trout and salmon fishing.

Booking separate tickets for one trip

Instructions to buy tickets separately

If you find a notice that both tickets can be bought in a single transaction from an online travel agency, click the link to visit their website.

  • Visit the first airline or online travel agency’s website.
  • Double-check the price, and buy your first ticket.
  • Immediately visit the next airline’s or travel agency’s website, and buy the second ticket, to make sure your second ticket is still available.

  • If you need to make changes, you might be charged a change fee for each ticket.
  • Each airline has different baggage rules and fees.
  • Buying separate tickets from different airlines may require claiming and rechecking baggage, which takes additional time, so plan accordingly.
  • If your outbound trip is delayed, for example in the case of a layover or multi-city trip, you might miss your second trip. To find out about your options, contact the airline.

Why some flights aren’t included

Google Flights uses over 300 partners, like airlines, online travel agencies, and aggregators, to display its offers.

This ensures that you get a complete view of the flights and prices that match your search, without the need to check prices on multiple sites.

Some flights might not show up when:

  • The flights are sold out or unavailable.
  • The carrier hasn’t yet been added to Google Flights.

Air play Moon Safari review: Spectacular, unique, and still revolutionary

W hen Air released their 1998 debut Moon Safari , there was nothing else like it. The French duo – Jean-Benoît Dunckel and Nicolas Godin – had conjured an electronic masterpiece full of refined retro-futuristic pop and gentle psychedelia that became essential listening across all sorts of disparate groups, from comedown ravers to the middle-class dinner party set via Radio 1 and film soundtracks. It was utterly of the moment, inspiring countless imitators. That it was all conducted with a chic Parisian insouciance only added to the allure.

But if the record was a unique achievement, it is similarly hard to think of anything quite like their spectacular recreation of the album on the UK debut of a belated 25th anniversary tour. Last night in the opulent setting of London’s magnificent Coliseum, Air brought to life their grand statement in thrilling, emotive, transformative fashion.

Ever the aesthetes, the staging was immaculate. In keeping with the album’s themes – nostalgia for the pair’s 70s childhood and the promised new space age that never materialised – Air, dressed all in white, performed from inside a white rectangular box, a sleek and sophisticated base from which tasteful lighting and otherworldly visuals could emerge. It often brought to mind Kraftwerk recreating 2001: A Space Odyssey .

The immersive setting enhanced the sense of wide-eyed wonder in the music. Air were joined by an impressively agile and powerful drummer and Moon Safari ’s inventiveness came to the fore. Opener “La femme d’argent” began as a lounge track, unfurling leisurely above Godin’s typically precise yet loose bassline before Dunckel added layers of noise. By the end, it had become a swirling psychedelic onslaught.

The hits – a sumptuous “Sexy Boy” and giddy “Kelly Watch the Stars” – sounded invigorated. It was a reminder of how ahead of the curve Air were: at the time, vocoded vocals were still rare in popular music; Moon Safari pre-dated Cher’s “Believe” by nine months. That said, Godin used a vocoder to sing the luxurious ballad “You Make it Easy” (its original singer, Beth Hirsch, was absent), and it was the only moment that didn’t enhance the feeling of the record (the cut-up sampling of Hirsch’s voice for “All I Need” worked far better).

If past Air concerts were a bit too nonchalant for their own good, then last night a sense of occasion brought out, if not quite showmanship, a certain personality that hasn’t always been evident. Dunckel, stationed between two sets of keyboards, often faced the crowd and played both at the same time in an impressively offhand manner. For his part Godin strayed around the stage as he swapped guitars, all smiles and lost-in-the-moment grooves. When an excited audience member shouted “we love you!” during the twinkling intro to “New Star in the Sky”, it could have killed the moment stone dead. Standing at his keyboards, Godin smiled and raised a fist in salute. After album closer “Le voyage de Pénélope” – a wavey, frantic finale – the pair could barely contain their joy at the standing ovation.

Bleachers' Jack Antonoff is a pop Springsteen

After the success of Moon Safari ,Air were so desperate not simply to remake it that, in recording the divisive 2001 follow-up 10,000Hz Legend , they locked all their previous equipment in a cupboard and threw away the key. A wisely chosen second set, then, plucked the highlights from the rest of their catalogue (notably nothing later than 2004). The melodious alt-pop songs of 2004’s Talkie Walkie – the wistful “Cherry Blossom Girl” and guitar-led “Surfing on a Rocket” – are some of their very best; from 10,000Hz Legend , the Krautrock-goes-prog “Don’t be Light” was exhilarating, as was the closing Kraftwerkian manifesto “Electronic Performers”, which ended with an onslaught of dark noise.

But it’s the Moon Safari set that will live long in the memory: an extraordinary performance of an extraordinary album.
