By air
Light-aircraft transfers into nearby Mara airstrips remain the most seamless arrival. Time saved becomes time on safari.
Oltukai Mara Camp
From Nairobi
Nairobi to Maasai Mara safari transfer
Most international guests route through Nairobi before a scenic bush flight into the Mara. We help you protect buffers, bags, and your first afternoon on safari.
- Bush flights are the preferred Nairobi–Mara link
- Soft luggage and weight limits matter
- We align camp arrival with your energy and light

By road
Scenic overland journeys from Nairobi reward travellers who want the landscape to unfold gradually.
Travel tips
Pack soft layers for cool dawns, neutral colours for game drives, and leave room for unhurried connections.

Building a calm connection day
Avoid same-day international-to-bush connections when possible. A night in Nairobi or a generous layover reduces risk and lets you start safari rested.
What happens after you land
Airstrip meets transfer, welcome at camp, and when timing allows, a gentle afternoon drive or sundowner so your first Mara evening already feels complete.
