Expert advice

Expert recommendation: Ukunda or Mombasa?

For most Diani hotels, we recommend flying straight into Ukunda (Diani Airport). It's minutes from the Diani strip, Galu and Kinondo, and is served by Jambojet, Kenya Airways and Safarilink from Nairobi.

Fly into Mombasa (MBA) when you're arriving internationally, or staying in Tiwi or north of the ferry. Moi International has far more flights, including direct routes to the Gulf, Ethiopia, Türkiye and Germany.

Allow for the road: Mombasa to Diani takes 30 to 45 minutes via the Likoni Ferry or the Dongo Kundu bypass, and longer when ferry queues build up.

Baggage policy

Flying a safari aircraft? Pack soft and light

Small safari planes fly to remote bush airstrips with short runways, so weight and size limits are strict, for safety. Here's what to pack for scheduled light-aircraft flights.

15 kgper person, checked and hand luggage combined
Soft duffel bag, recommended maximum 67 cm long, 35 cm wide and 35 cm high 67 cm long 35 cm high 35 cm wide

Recommended size for a 15 kg soft bag on a Cessna C208B (12 seats)

Duffels, rucksacks and soft bags No hard cases, wheels or rigid frames

Standard allowance

On scheduled flights you can bring 15 kg (about 33 lb) per person, including your hand luggage. Soft-sided bags are mandatory because they fit the aircraft's hold.

Extra bags and charter flights

Excess baggage on scheduled flights only flies if space and weight allow, and it's charged at the current rate. It may need to follow on a later flight, so pre-book and pay for it to avoid disappointment at the airstrip. Private charters can be more flexible depending on the aircraft, passengers and route; tell us your needs when you book.

Assistive devices and children's items

Wheelchairs, canes, walkers, crutches and other assistive devices fly free for passengers with a disability and don't count towards the allowance. They need to be collapsible. Baby car seats and foldable prams are accepted. For sports or medical equipment, check with us when you book.
