Airstrip pick up and drop off can be arranged in advance, if required, ensuring an easy transition to and from the camp.
It is approx 30 minutes from Amboseli airstrip to Tulia. As the majority of the flights from Nairobi land in the morning, before our normal check-in, we offer guests coffee and pastries before taking them on a game drive. Afternoon flights from Nairobi usually arrive at 14:00 hrs.
Most flights from Mombasa land around 9:00 am and we take guests on a game drive before heading. Connecting flights to the Maasai Mara and Diani are also available.
