The Great Migration in the Masai Mara (July–October) drives peak demand. Book ≈ 8–12 weeks ahead for the best Gulf-carrier fares.

Via Dubai, the fastest itineraries clock ≈ 9–10 hours with a 2-hour layover. Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa takes ≈ 10–12 hours. Doha routings fall in between. Nairobi is only 2h 30m behind IST, so jet lag is minimal — a genuine advantage of this corridor. All connections involve a single stop with no airport changes at the hub.
Baggage & fares
Emirates and Qatar Airways offer 25–30 kg checked baggage in Economy. Ethiopian Airlines is also generous at 23–30 kg depending on fare class. If you're heading on safari, pack sturdy bags — some domestic Kenyan flights use smaller aircraft with weight limits.
