Wings Over the Mara: The Great Migration Helicopter Safari

3 Days

Few experiences rival the majesty of witnessing the Great Migration from the sky. Millions of wildebeests, zebras, and gazelles flow across the vast grasslands of the Masai Mara and Serengeti, pursued by predators in a timeless cycle of survival. The Wings Over the Mara Helicopter Safari takes you above this natural wonder, offering unrivaled views of river crossings, golden plains, and vast herds that stretch to the horizon. It’s the perfect blend of adventure, exclusivity, and wildlife immersion—crafted for those who want to see Africa’s greatest show in the most extraordinary way possible.

Itinerary

Day 01 :
Nairobi to Masai Mara Aerial Arrival

Your helicopter departs Nairobi in the morning, flying low over the Great Rift Valley before reaching the rolling savannahs of the Masai Mara. Along the way, you’ll pass over escarpments and plains where elephants and giraffes roam. Arriving in the Mara, the helicopter circles over the herds, revealing the migration from above—a living, moving tapestry of wildlife. By afternoon, you’ll land in a private concession for a champagne bush picnic, followed by a relaxed evening at a luxury tented camp (optional add-on).

Day 02 :
Migration & Mara River Spectacle

Today is devoted to the Mara River crossings. The helicopter allows you to hover safely above as wildebeests and zebras brave the crocodile-infested waters. From the air, you see predator ambushes unfold, while on the ground, guides position you at prime viewing points after helicopter drop-offs. Lunch is a private affair on a ridge overlooking the plains, after which the helicopter sweeps you along the escarpment for panoramic views before returning to base in the late afternoon.

Day 03 :
Serengeti Extension

For guests who wish to extend, the helicopter can cross into Tanzania’s Serengeti, offering a rare chance to see the migration’s southern or western phases. Land in remote Serengeti camps, enjoy guided game drives, and return by air with memories few ever experience.
