Flying
from EUROPE to Nairobi for arrival on July 19: issues
The flights for
next July are being loaded by major airlines and it now appears very difficult
to arrive early on July 19; and if so sometimes unreasonably expensive.
If so, this will require previous day arrivals. The ground transfer from Nairobi to the Mara is included but requires
that you clear immigration & customs for 9 am on July 19th. Similarly,
on July 25th the ground transfer will not be able to make Nairobi prior
to 12 noon. For
more information on transfer options on arrival at Nairobi please
