How to get to Angama Mara Tented Camp

INTERNATIONAL AND DOMESTIC FLIGHT ROUTES TO THE MAASAI MARA

Kenya is served by a number of international airports, including the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, the Kisumu International Airport and the Moi International Airport in Mombasa. The Angama Mara Tented Camp is located just north of the Maasai Mara National Reserve and is served by a private airstrip, which receives daily flights from Nairobi Wilson Airport. In addition, charter flights can be organised from the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport to the Angama Mara Airstrip.

CHARTER FLIGHTS

In addition to scheduled flight routes, it’s also possible to charter a private aircraft directly to the Angama Mara Airstrip from various airports in Kenya. Unlike scheduled flights, these private charters have the benefit of no luggage weight restrictions, which makes them a good choice for those who can’t pack light. You can also select the flight time that’s convenient for you, with the option to land at the airstrips at any time during daylight hours (sunset is between 6:30 pm and 7:00 pm).

Luggage is restricted to 15 kgs per passenger and must be carried in soft-sided bags or suitcases (no hard shell cases are permitted).
