GETTING THERE
If you would like us to book you through door to door, we can do so.
Otherwise, the recommended airlines flying straight to Nairobi are Kenya Airways, British Airways, KLM or Virgin.
If you are going to Tumaren Ranch, you will need to take a hour taxi ride from Jomo Kenyatta Airport (where your International flight lands) to Wilson Airport where you will catch a light, Kenya Airways aircraft for a one hour flight to Nanyuki airport in whose attractive airstrip restaurant, you will meet your driver for the final two hour drive through increasingly remote, and sometimes trackless country, on the way to Tumaren Ranch. This incoming drive through the country you will later come to know is a good introduction to the style of terrain and the animals it hosts. If you have arrived in Nairobi in the evening or the night, or are in any way pressured for time, or very tired, we recommend allowing us to book you into a comfortable B and B Nairobi hotel where you can unwind and de-stress before you start your safari.
If you are going on to Baraka or Shuma after Tumaren, you will return to Nanyuki airport in the same vehicle that brought you, and you will already have a return flight to Wilson Airport. Landing at Wilson you will transfer to another Kenya Airways flight which will drop you one hour later at Malindi on the coast, where someone will meet you and drive you 20 mins to Baraka or Shuma Houses by the sea.
The internal flights from Wilson/Nanyuki return and Wilson/Malindi return will cost in the region of 300 pounds.
It is cheaper to book both your international and domestic flight together and travel agents such as Trailfinders (+44 20 7938 3939). Or the flight Centre (+44 2074865585) are a good place to start for the best deals.
