Frequently Asked Questions for Travelers from London, United Kingdom (Heathrow LHR)
Can I bring my standard British Airways 23kg hard suitcase on a Maasai Mara flight?
No. Bush planes from Wilson Airport (Safarilink, AirKenya) strictly require 100% soft canvas duffels under 15kg. Hard-shell cases cannot fit in the aircraft pods and will be offloaded.
Where do I store my remaining 31kg of luggage while on safari?
Mustuds meets you upon arrival at JKIA, provides approved soft duffels for your safari days, and securely holds your main suitcases in our 24/7 guarded Nairobi facility until your return.
