Everything you need to plan the flight.
The quickest way to Nakuru
The drive from Nairobi to Nakuru can take hours. The flight takes about 30 minutes, leaving from Wilson Airport and landing at Mbweha Camp Airstrip just outside Nakuru town.
The scheduled seat run is designed for people who want the speed of a private aircraft without chartering the whole plane. Buy one seat, travel light and skip the road.
Mbweha Camp Airstrip
Mbweha Camp Airstrip sits close to Nakuru and the southern edge of the Rift Valley. It is a practical arrival point for Nakuru business, Lake Nakuru, Mbweha Camp and the surrounding conservancies.
Landing here also opens up a whole-aircraft option for families and groups: the same Caravan can be booked privately for up to 12 passengers.
By the seat or by the aircraft
A single seat is the simplest way to fly the route. If your group fills the aircraft, a private charter gives you the whole cabin, your own timing and space for bags.
- Single seat: KSh 8,000 per person, one way
- Whole Caravan: up to 12 passengers
- Return trips: two one-way fares
- Groups: ask for a whole-aircraft quote
