Mulika Lodge Airstrip accommodates turboprops, light jets, and select midsize jets suitable for short to mid-haul flights—perfect for safari transfers and regional hops.

Arrivals and departures at Mulika Lodge are coordinated in advance with the lodge and Kenya Airports Authority to ensure personalized service. Jettly manages all landing permits and slot arrangements for your private charter.

Due to its location within a protected national park, Mulika Lodge Airstrip operates during daylight hours only. All aircraft operations are scheduled to minimize wildlife disturbance and preserve the tranquility of the park.
Mulika Lodge guests enjoy discreet, lodge-style ground handling and hospitality directly at the airstrip. While there are no conventional FBOs, services are designed to meet the expectations of luxury private aviation travelers:
Personalized meet-and-greet, luggage handling, safari vehicle transfers, light refreshments, and guest lounge facilities are available upon arrival and departure.
King Air 350 and Pilatus PC-12 are the preferred choices for short regional hops and airstrips with limited runway length. These turboprops are ideal for transfers from Nairobi or connecting to other safari destinations.
Very light jets such as the Phenom 100 and Eclipse 550 provide efficient, comfortable access to Meru National Park for small groups or couples, reducing travel time from regional airports.
Light jets like the Citation CJ3 and Phenom 300 deliver fast, comfortable flights for 6-8 passengers, making them a popular option for luxury safari transfers from Nairobi Wilson or other East African gateways.
Select midsize jets such as the Citation XLS and Hawker 800XP can operate at Mulika Lodge depending on seasonal runway conditions, offering greater range and capacity for larger groups or direct flights from regional hubs.
Super-midsize jets typically require longer runways than Mulika Lodge provides, but Jettly’s team will advise on optimal aircraft and alternative airstrips for larger groups seeking enhanced range or cabin space.
Heavy jets are generally not suitable for Mulika Lodge due to runway length and weight restrictions; however, they can be accommodated at nearby airports such as Nanyuki for onward transfer to Meru by light aircraft.

Mulika Lodge’s runway length and surface mean that ultra-long-range jets must operate from larger regional airports such as Nairobi Wilson or Nanyuki. Jettly will always recommend the most suitable departure and arrival points for your group size and itinerary.
