Thank you for flying with us. #flysafarilink

I had the privilege od spending three days in the Masai Mara with my family in 1986. It is amazing. We flew back to Nairobi on a Sunbird Airlines DC 3 which was fabulous.

[@jamessitati7396]

as a person who has gone through the Wilson airport i would say it is well organized and information is readily available, as you can see in the video there is a person from the respective airlines to lead you out or into of the ramp area, the buildings have signs and if you get lost there are several uniformed staff to help you out, hope you all enjoy travelling within Kenya and the rest of our beloved continent.

[@RetiredDragon]

Having flown with both Safarilink and Air Kenya into and out of Wilson to various bush airstrips around Kenya, I have found that there really is no better way to travel. Both airlines have always given me first class service on all my flights. Many bigger airlines in both Europe and the USA could learn some customer service tips from both these airlines and the Kenyans in general.

[@AaronHuslage]

Kenya is one of my absolute favorite places. Tanzania being the second. I've flown Safarilink a number of times and have loved it each time!

[@khalidfarah288]

I’m going Kenya over the summer so I might go on the masai Mara hopefully

[@danferris7606]

I've flown Safari Link out of Wilson into Ol Seki - fantastic experience. The chaos of the terminals just adds to the glory that is Kenya

[@kravlokitay6989]

Watching them clean the planes and navigate the in and out at that airport was amazing. We enjoyed Safarilink however Kenya Time is a real thing LOL we were so delayed on almost every single flight we took LOL I also love how they make sure they know where they are taking you. Supposed to be going back again next year we shall see how things look then.

We don't have lockdown here but infection is still around. When things are normalised, want my daughter and granddaughter to visit me from Nairobi. She is a KQ stewardess and could get a 10per cent flight to Malindi, catch a matatu across the road from the airport to Kilifi. She can't at the moment. Her job any age make it too risky.

[@aerorobnz]

Next time go and have a wild camp experience, with the animals up close and walk around the camp. That's bucket list stuff. As it happens Africa is up there on my first places to go once the governments of the world calm down a bit. .Kenya/Tanzania or maybe Namibia/Botswana. I have backups worldwide for whatever area opens up first.

[@hank3V]

I have done this trip 4 times and it is a wonderful experience. At Ol Seki you can be picked up from many camps but the most famous over there is the Ol Seki Hemingway’s Mara camp and it is a wonderful lodge.

[@jobkiprotich5321]

Kenya aint that bad afterall. Welcome Noel, at least not as bad as you thought. next time make sure you spend at least a week in Maasai Mara and get a trustworthy friend to show you around....that was just a fingertip. welcome back to Nairobi.

the reason why at Safarilink one has to board from the airline's launch is because at the main and only departure launch at Wilson airport gets over crowded and chaotic... Wilson is the smallest yet the busiest airport in East Africa.... thanks for Flying with Safarilink... sad I didn't get to see myself in the video... though I've seen my colleagues...

Been watching your vids for a while now and love all your African journeys. When lockdown's over I'd love to Jet over to Ghana and see where my heritage comes from.

First destination after the lockdown will be Portugal (Lisbon). A year ago I would have said London, but nowadays the Eurostar is a good alternative (if you can get the right fare of course...) as it'll save you all the hassle from departing from middle-of-nowhere-port and arriving at London Stansted (which is as close to London as France is to the UK).

[@ludviglazrev8160]

I really want to go to Mauritius after the pandemic but where I’m from there’s not the same type of look down so I have been to France couple times during the pandemic. Already have x plane but would really enjoy the a300. Lovely video.

Once lock down is over I will be aiming to travel to New Zealand, it;s a trip we do as often as we can afford it. We usually go for 5 to 6 weeks in January and February. We always go in the last week of January in order to attend the Auckland Folk Festival, after the festival we tour around NZ to meet up with friends that we have scattered across the country. We've made about a dozen trips to NZ and apart from 5 trips they've all been with Air NZ LHR to LAX to AKL, Air NZ are not the cheapest carrier but we like their service and friendly staff. The only "pain" in the flight is having to go through immigration and security at LAX. On 2 trips we did Virgin LHR to SFO then Air NZ SFO to AKL and the reverse on the way back. Virgin have a similar philosophy to Air NZ and we always enjoy flying with them. We also done Virgin LHR to HKG then Air NZ HKG to AKL and the reverse on the way back. We've used Singapore Airlines all the way LHR to SIN to AKL, the down side of that flight was that in our area of the economy seating the in-flight entertainment had failed on the LHR to SIN sector meaning that we were looking at a blank screen for the whole sector, good job I had a book. On another trip we did JAL LHR to NRT then Air NZ from NRT to AKL and returned by the same route, we were lucky to get upgraded to business class for the JAL sector back to LHR. We usually use LHR because we live about 3 miles south of the airport. On my first trip to NZ in 1991 it was on a tighter budget and the cheapest flight was a multi stop bought through Trailfinders, they were the cheapest then. It was with Continental DC10 from LGW to DEN then DC10 DEN to HNL and B747 HNL to AKL. On the way back it was B747 AKL to LAX B747 LAX to EWR then DC10 EWR to LGW. For us it's a shame that Air NZ no longer operate their own aircraft all the way to the UK so it's now a code share route to LAX.
