Kenya is well supported with travel infrastructure. Flying to Samburu or Mara is only a short flight from the Nairobi hub. There are internal flight connections from the coast and other Kenyan airports.
We choose to fly you out as it is cost effective in terms of time taken to get you out. Our priority is getting you out in the bush with the animals for maximum game viewing. The airstrips we use are very close to the camps and lodges we use, so long road transfers after flying are not required. In fact, when landing in the Mara, have your camera ready as you land in the Mara Reserve itself and your safari starts then.
Others choose to transfer only to the Mara by road. This can be incorporated into your safari subject to early/late supplement of £200 per person. With increasingly more investment in roads, road travel is now much easier and a genuine alternative to flying.
