Flights to Masai Mara

For an extraordinary adventure, hop on a shuttle flight from Nairobi Wilson Airport (WIL) and soar over the stunning landscapes en route to the Maasai Mara National Reserve and its conservancies. With our trusted aviation partners, we provide seamless domestic flights to key Maasai Mara airstrips, ensuring effortless access to lodges across the Greater Mara region. Whether you’re chasing the wildebeest herds or seeking a tranquil retreat, our flights deliver speed, comfort, and breathtaking aerial views. Below is a selection of flight services available to the Maasai Mara for a smooth and stress-free journey.

Access to Airstrips and Lodges

To ensure seamless access to the Masai Mara, we collaborate with multiple flight operators, primarily AirKenya and Safarilink, which service key airstrips across the region. These airstrips provide convenient entry points to various lodges, strategically located within the reserve and conservancies, offering front-row seats to the wildebeest herds and other incredible wildlife spectacles.

Each airstrip connects to different camps based on location, ensuring easy transfers for travelers. While the flight options listed below highlight major routes, we are happy to assist with custom flight arrangements, including connections from the Serengeti and other destinations.

Baggage restrictions and additonal information

Reaching the Masai Mara usually means boarding a compact aircraft like the Cessna Grand Caravan, where space is limited, and baggage restrictions are strictly upheld. Passengers are allowed just 15 kg, including hand luggage and camera gear, all packed into a soft-sided duffel bag to ensure efficient storage.

Unlike standard commercial flights, Mara-bound flights operate similarly to shuttle services, with flexible departure times and routes tailored to passenger needs and weather patterns. These flights make multiple stops at different Masai Mara airstrips, so expect a few landings before reaching your camp. Last-minute schedule changes are possible.

Seating on these aircraft is designed for practicality rather than luxury, with ‘utility-size’ seats that may feel snug for larger travelers. To guarantee a comfortable and safe journey, passengers exceeding the standard weight range are encouraged to book an extra seat at the child fare rate.
