One movement, one standard
How the day runs
- I
Collected at the door
A chauffeured car brings you to the pad — Wilson for the Mara circuit, or your own airstrip if the property allows it. No terminal, no queue, no check-in.
- II
Wheels up
Forty-five minutes low over the Escarpment and the Rift Valley, where the five-and-a-half-hour road convoy cannot follow. Land where the lodges land.
- III
A car on the ground
Your vehicle is waiting at the airstrip when the rotors stop. The movement is sold as one piece — air and ground, one operator, one standard.
