View FlightsA private charter is one aircraft booked for your group and your route. It suits travellers who want more control than a scheduled flight can offer:
FlyAirVan operates Cessna Caravan C208 and Dash 8-100 aircraft. The Caravan's short-runway performance suits Mara bush airstrips, and the Dash 8 serves busier routes and larger groups. We match the aircraft to your passenger numbers, baggage and the airstrips on your route. See the full FlyAirVan fleet.

Ask for the quote to include every flight leg plus any positioning or waiting charges, and read the payment and cancellation terms before you confirm. For trips beyond the Mara, see our safari charters across Kenya. Between July and October, start early: migration season is the busiest time for charters.
It depends on the aircraft and on how much baggage you carry. FlyAirVan matches a Cessna Caravan C208 or Dash 8-100 to your group size, baggage weight and the airstrips you plan to use.
Charters can serve most Mara airstrips, subject to each airstrip being open, the aircraft type and access permission for private airfields. Ask reservations to confirm your exact route.
As early as possible, especially for July to October and holiday periods, when aircraft and crews are in high demand.
Yes. Send your full itinerary and we will advise which legs can be combined, including Amboseli and the coast at Ukunda.
