Getting here
Make your way to Mahali Mzuri
Mahali Mzuri is about 240km due west of Nairobi and the best way to arrive is by plane to Nairobi-Wilson Airport. We can arrange transfers between international and domestic airports for arrivals from outside Kenya.
Where we are
Mahali Mzuri is located within the Olare Motorogi Conservancy. The camp is perched on the side of a lush valley overlooking rolling plains.
By plane
The main international airport in Nairobi, Kenya’s capital, is Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, with daily direct flights from the main European hubs: London, Paris, Brussels and Amsterdam as well as New York.
There are daily arrivals from Johannesburg in South Africa as well as from hubs in the Middle East, including Dubai and Doha.
Flights from Europe take on average just over eight hours and direct flights from New York will take 15 hours. Those connecting from any other USA hub will need to travel via one of the cities mentioned above.
We can also book the Fast Track service for you at Kenyatta airport to speed up your journey.
Our reservations team can help organise transfers to and from the airports.
Getting to Mahali Mzuri from Nairobi
Wilson Airport is the domestic airport in Nairobi with scheduled flights to the Olare Orok Airstrip. If you booked a transfer to Wilson Airport a local agent will meet you in the arrivals hall once you’ve collected your baggage and cleared customs. Look for the Mahali Mzuri logo which will be held up on a board.
There are two airstrips close to Mahali Mzuri that we would recommend guests use. Both airstrips are served by flights operated by SafariLink Aviation and Air Kenya. Olare Orok is also served by the 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 Authorisation) in advance on the Kenya Electronic System for Travel Authorisation (eTA). The cost is approximately $30 and takes a maximum of 72 hours to process.
As advice can change on a regular basis we recommend you check with the advice issued by your government’s state department or foreign office before you set off on your journey.
