| We
recommend: flying directly to and from Nairobi and considering

short as 2-3 days en-route between Nairobi and Mara 2008 (or reverse)

ARRIVAL in Nairobi  You must arrive and clear customs before 9 am on July 19 in order to connect with the road transfer direct to the Maasai Mara (  included).
. If you are unable to make these times - you will need to arrive the day previous and overnight in Nairobi or consider our alternative transfers. Note: Many flights from Johannesburg arrive at Nairobi too late for same-day transfers (see schedule). For small groups chrtered air services may be a cost effective alternative (below). |
DEPARTURE from Nairobi It would be unwise to plan on arriving at Nairobi International before 2 pm on Friday August 25 - unless you pay for air-transfer (~$143 US). You may need to overnight in Nairobi. Note: Some flights to Johannesburg depart Nairobi too early for same-day transfers (see schedule). |
