The connection from Mara to Serengeti (and v.v.)‚ is offered in conjunction with Coastal Aviation and is accessible via Migori (on the Kenyan side) and Tarime (on the Tanzanian side) near the border point of Isabania.  The connection involves a short scenic road transfer between the two strips of Migori and Tarime‚ it is a convenient and time saving option for clients wanting to experience both the Serengeti and Masai Mara.

The service commenced in January 2012 and operates during the high seasons only from Mid December to end March and beginning of July to end of October each year. During these periods‚ the service operates daily subject to minimum 2 pax per strip‚ starting from the Tanzanian side with Coastal Aviation picking clients from the various strips in Serengeti (according to number of pax booked) from approximately 0820 and arriving at Tarime by 1025. There is a road transfer via Isabania border point for immigration clearance‚ before proceeding to Migori on the Kenyan side‚ where clients will connect onto the Safarilink flight to Masai Mara departing at 1215.
