MUSCAT -- Kenya Airways has announced an attractive fly-in Safari package to Kenya for those planning a short vacation during Eid holidays. This 4-day/3-night package is priced at RO429 per person and gives a unique opportunity for safari lovers to visit the world's largest forest reserve the famous Masai Mara.

Kenya Airways fly-in Safari package offers you the ultimate safari experience by flying straight from Nairobi to Masai Mara and save more than 5 hours journey by road.

Take your Kenya Airways flight to Nairobi from Dubai. On reaching Nairobi, you will be taken in a chartered flight straight to Masai Mara. Your safari begins here.

Masai Mara, home to Africa's 'Big Five' (lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo), is an ideal place to see these magnificent species in their natural environment.

Apart from the Big Five, the commonly seen animals include bush duiker, coke's hartebeest, grant's gazelle, impala, zebra, Masai giraffe, hyena and wildebeest.

The herds of the Mara attract plenty of predators and therefore this is the best place in all of Kenya to see lions. There are experienced guides to lead tourists safely across the Mara's rugged terrain, while an open-topped vehicle affords spectacular views of the terrain and animal life.

Traditionally, these are the lands of the Masai's a tribal shepherd community living in Kenya and Tanzania. Accommodation in the reserve ranges from modest but comfortable tented camps to luxury lodges complete with swimming pools and delectable cuisine.

Apart from the Kenya safaris, there are other exciting safari packages to Tanzania covering the famous Serengeti National Park, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangiri Game Park, and the spice island of Zanzibar.

Kenya Airways, the pride of Africa, operates 11flights a week from Dubai to Nairobi. The GSA for Kenya Airways in Oman is National Travel and Tourism one of the leading travel houses offering total services through professional sales and service team.
