Flights - Part 2

Update on flight news. We have held some flights with Virgin Atlantic:

Outbound
Friday 30 October, departing London Heathrow at 19:25 and arriving at Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta at 07:10 on Saturday 31 October

Returning
Either on Saturday 7 November or Saturday 14 November at 09:50, arriving London Heathrow at 16:05.

The flights are held till mid-June and we have secured a special group rate of £400 per person.

We will be travelling from Nairobi to the Mara on Sunday 01 November at around 7am, so if you want to make alternative flight arrangements, this is when you need to be in Nairobi by to come on the safari, although of course you are free to make your own travel arrangements.

Deposit
If you would like to join the group booking, a non-refundable £75 deposit will be needed to hold the seat, along with your name EXACTLY AS IT IS SPELLED IN YOUR PASSPORT. The price is subject to change until the flight has been paid in full but Virgin assure me this is very unlikely to happen and we would be notified beforehand and given the option to pay the quoted price. I think the flight needs to be paid in full six weeks prior to departure.

Email me to let me know and please include your preferred return date! x
