Located in southwest Kenya, the Masai Mara National Reserve is best accessed by air. Scheduled daily flights operate from Nairobi’s Wilson Airport to various airstrips inside and around the reserve, with flight times averaging around one hour. For guests arriving from the coast, flights from Mombasa and Diani Beach offer a seamless connection to the wild heart of Kenya.
Those preferring to travel by road can embark on a scenic 5–6-hour drive from Nairobi, offering glimpses of local life and shifting landscapes along the way.
