Travelling to Marich via Wilson Airport.

If you fancy visiting this beautiful area yourself, under your own steam, without the restricitons of an itinerary then the usual travel guides (Lonely Planet, Rough Guide etc.) are a great help.

If you don't fancy traveling from Nairobi to Marich by road then flights are available from Wilson Airport in Nairobi. You can fly for just over £100, return to Kitale, with Aero Kenya. It is a short flight and once in Kitale you can, from there, organise the last stretch of your journey to Marich.

As I was looking for links for Wilson Airport I got a link to Daphne Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. This is better known as the Elephant Orphanage and the focus of the BBC documentary series entitles Elephant Diaries presented by Jonathan Scott and Michaela Strachan. It is to this little airport, on the northern edge of the Nairobi National Park and South West of the city of Nairobi, that many of the elephant orphans are flown to offer them a chance of survival.
