Getting to Mahali Mzuri
A number of domestic airlines are based at Nairobi-Wilson Airport and most provide scheduled flights to the region which take an hour or less.
There are two airstrips close to Mahali Mzuri that we would recommend guests use. The closest airstrip is the Olare Orok which is approximately 25 minutes away from Mahali Mzuri. The second is the Mara North airstrip where the journey by vehicle to the camp is roughly one hour's drive.
Both airstrips are served by flights operated by Safarilink Aviation and Air Kenya. Olare Orok is also served by Governor's Aviation.
Special charter flights can be arranged on request and land at the private airstrip in the conservancy, roughly a 20-minute drive from camp.
Visa requirements
Visitors from countries that do not enjoy visa-free entry to Kenya will need to apply for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authorization) in advance on Kenya Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (eTA). The cost is approximately $30 and takes a maximum of 72 hours to process.
