Flights to Ol Seki: private conservancy safaris
Ol Seki airstrip gives access to the Mara Naboisho Conservancy, east of the national reserve, where limited visitor numbers mean quieter, more exclusive wildlife viewing.
About Ol Seki airstrip
The Mara Naboisho Conservancy borders the Maasai Mara National Reserve and is run in partnership with local Maasai landowners. Visitor numbers are limited, so sightings are rarely crowded. Conservancy camps can usually offer activities that the national reserve does not allow, such as walking safaris and night drives; check with your camp what it includes.
Ol Seki airstrip is the arrival point for Naboisho. Hemingways Ol Seki Mara, for example, gives it as the airstrip for its camp.
Check the operating status before you fly
Like all bush airstrips, Ol Seki can close temporarily for maintenance. FlyAirVan has published maintenance closure notices for Ol Seki in the past. Before you book, ask reservations to confirm the airstrip is open on your dates and what the alternative arrival plan would be if it isn't.

Why choose a conservancy safari?
Conservancies like Naboisho lease land from Maasai families, so tourism income supports local communities and protects wildlife habitat. Camp numbers are capped, so you'll often have a sighting to yourself. Activities that aren't allowed in the national reserve, such as guided bush walks and night drives, are usually available too. Ask your camp exactly what it offers.
Many visitors split their safari between a conservancy and the national reserve. You can enjoy quiet game viewing at Naboisho and then head to the river areas during the migration. If you plan this, check which airstrip each camp uses and how you'll travel between them.
- Confirm Ol Seki is operating on your dates before booking.
- Ask your camp about walking safaris and night drives.
- Pack within the 15 kg + 3 kg soft-bag allowance.

Conservancies are a popular way to enjoy the Mara between July and October without the crowds. Camps are small, so rooms and flight seats go quickly. Book both as early as you can; see our peak season flight tips. Groups can also ask for a charter flight to Maasai Mara direct to Ol Seki.
