By air

Flying from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to the Maasai Mara is the quickest and most comfortable way to reach our camp. Daily scheduled bush flights offer breathtaking views and significantly reduce travel time compared to road transfers.

The closest and most convenient airstrip to our camp is Olkiombo Airstrip, making it the preferred option for most guests. Olare Orok Airstrip is also nearby and can be used by paying a small surcharge for using the private conservancy.

Flights also operate into other airstrips across the Maasai Mara. While these may be further away, we are happy to arrange pick-up from any airstrip, with transfer times varying depending on location.

Scheduled flights from Wilson Airport are operated by reputable local carriers including:

  • Safarilink Aviation
  • AirKenya Express
  • Fly ALS
  • Mombasa Air Safari
  • FlyAirVan


Airstrip Transfers

We can arrange an airstrip pick-up by one of our safari guides (local transfers are separately charged), ensuring a smooth and welcoming start to your safari experience.
