Frequently Asked Questions for Travelers from Sydney / Melbourne / Perth, Australia (SYD / MEL / PER)

Why can't Australian hard luggage be taken on Maasai Mara flights?

Cessna Caravans have narrow curved cargo pods. Hard luggage cannot fit and risks being offloaded on the tarmac. Soft duffels are mandatory.
