We must charter at aircraft rate. Cleary this option becomes more affordable if more people book - esepecially 12 pax. If you are interested we will attempt to collate names and advise on costs on an ogoing basis. You should account for the potential saving of ~$100 per person on hotels & up to $55 person on transfer costs, as well as meals in Nairobi. Thus, for 10 people the net cost of the charter would be ~$160 US.

NAIROBI-MASAI MARA (correct at time of posting) ~$150 one-way
