If you’ve ever dreamed of swapping Dubai’s glittering skyline for the golden savannas of Africa, your moment has arrived. flydubai has launched a new route to Nairobi, making it easier than ever for UAE residents to plan a luxury safari holiday without complicated layovers or long connections.

Starting this month, the Dubai-based airline operates four weekly flights to Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, flying every Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday from Terminal 3, Dubai International Airport (DXB).

Where the wild things roam

Within hours of landing in Nairobi, you could be spotting lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards, and buffalo, collectively known as the Big Five, at Nairobi National Park, a wildlife sanctuary uniquely set against the backdrop of the city skyline.

From there, it’s a short hop to the Maasai Mara, one of the most iconic safari destinations in the world, where open plains, acacia-dotted landscapes, and the Great Migration make for once-in-a-lifetime experiences.

For a more relaxed coastal escape, flydubai also offers daily flights to Mombasa, Kenya’s historic port city lined with palm-fringed beaches and Indian Ocean views.

Plan your perfect Kenyan adventure

Whether you’re booking a luxury safari lodge, a family-friendly nature retreat, or a honeymoon escape, Kenya offers it all.

• Nairobi National Park: Wildlife encounters within sight of city skyscrapers.
• Maasai Mara National Reserve: Hot-air balloon rides, game drives, and the annual wildebeest migration.
• Lake Naivasha and Amboseli: Flamingo-filled lakes and majestic views of Mount Kilimanjaro.
