Delhi Airport to Masai Mara Safari Route

Most Masai Mara tours from Delhi begin at Indira Gandhi International Airport (DEL). Travellers usually fly from Delhi to Nairobi with convenient one-stop connections through Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi.

After arriving at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport in Nairobi, guests continue to Masai Mara by scheduled flight or road transfer depending on the itinerary.

Departure airport: Indira Gandhi International Airport, Delhi
Arrival airport: Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, Nairobi
Common connections: Dubai, Doha and Abu Dhabi

Travel Ready

Documents Required for Masai Mara Tours from Delhi

Kenya replaced its visa system with an online Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) for Indian passport holders. Most of the paperwork is done online before you fly, and one document matters on your return to India as well.

For Entry into Kenya

Indian passport valid for at least 6 months beyond your arrival date, with at least one blank page
Approved Kenya eTA, applied for online (every traveller needs one, including children and infants)
Recent passport-style photo and a passport scan for the eTA form
Return flight tickets and lodge confirmations (we provide these for your application)
Printed or saved copy of your approved eTA to show at check-in and immigration

Health & Returning to India

Yellow fever vaccination certificate, needed when you land back in India
Vaccine taken at a government-approved centre at least 10 days before departure
A word with your doctor about malaria prevention, as the Mara is a malaria-risk area
Travel insurance covering medical care and emergency evacuation (strongly recommended)
Any regular medicines in original packaging, with a copy of the prescription

Important for Indian travellers: Kenya does not ask for a yellow fever certificate when you fly in directly from India, but India does when you return from Kenya. Without it, you can be held in quarantine at the airport for up to six days. The certificate is valid for life, so one vaccination covers all future trips.

Our team shares a document checklist with your booking and guides you through each step, from the eTA form to your vaccination appointment.

April–JuneQuieter season with value pricing

Resident wildlife, including the big cats, stays in the Mara all year, so there is no bad time for game viewing. The long rains fall mainly in April and May, which brings lower rates and green landscapes, while June marks the start of the dry season as the herds begin to arrive.
