1. Safari Bush Flight Excess Luggage Custody
When traveling from Nairobi to premier safari destinations such as the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Samburu, or the Serengeti on light aircraft (e.g. Cessna 208 Caravans operated by Safarilink, AirKenya, or Scenic Air), airlines strictly enforce a 15kg (33 lbs) total weight limit in soft duffle bags with zero rigid frames or wheels.
International flights into Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) allow 46kg to 64kg in heavy hard-shell suitcases. Mustuds bridges this critical gap:
How Our Chain-of-Custody Works:
- Step 1: Terminal Meet & Weigh-In: Our concierge greets you upon arrival at JKIA Terminal 1A/1E or at your Nairobi hotel lobby. We weigh all bags and assist with packing essentials into soft bush bags.
- Step 2: Digital Tamper Sealing: Each stored bag is locked with an individually serialized tamper-evident seal. High-resolution photos are uploaded to your Live Custody Dossier.
- Step 3: Secure 24/7 Vault Storage: Your excess luggage is stored in our alarmed, climate-controlled custody facility located in Westlands, Nairobi with continuous CCTV and dual-custody access logs.
- Step 4: Inter-Airport Transfer & Handover: When you fly back into Wilson Airport or JKIA, our concierge meets you at arrivals for immediate handover, or delivers your bags directly to your hotel room.
