Fly-In Kenya Safaris: Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about fly-in kenya safaris
Q:How much time do fly-in safaris save?
Fly-in safaris save enormous time - Nairobi to Samburu flight takes 1.5 hours versus 6-7 hours driving. Samburu to Mara is 1 hour flying versus 8-10 hours by road. A 7-day fly-in safari can comfortably visit 3-4 parks with full game viewing days, while road safaris covering identical destinations need 10-14 days.
Q:What is the baggage allowance on safari flights?
Safari flights typically allow 15kg (33 lbs) per person in soft-sided bags due to small aircraft weight/space constraints. Hard suitcases are not permitted. Most camps provide laundry services so you can pack light. Excess baggage fees run $3-5 per kg if you exceed the limit.
Q:Are fly-in safaris only for luxury travelers?
While fly-in safaris ($600-2,000+/day) lean toward luxury due to flight costs and remote camps, mid-range fly-in options exist at $600-900/day. The value isn't just luxury - it's time efficiency. For travelers with limited vacation time, paying for flights to maximize wildlife viewing often makes more sense than spending 30-40% of your trip driving.
Q:Can I combine fly-in with road safaris?
Absolutely! Many travelers fly to distant parks like Samburu or Mara to save time, then drive between closer destinations. A popular combination: fly to Samburu (1.5 hours) for 2-3 days, fly to Mara (1 hour), then drive to Lake Nakuru (4-5 hours) and Nairobi. This hybrid approach balances time efficiency with cost savings.
