Until recently the fastest way (via air) from the Masai Mara (Kenya) to the Serengeti (Tanzania) was as follows:
Masai Mara (10:15am) to Nairobi Wilson. Nairobi Wilson to Kilimanjaro. Kilimanjaro to the West/Central Serengeti (5:05pm). With this flight arrangement one could not practically reach the Southern (Ndutu) or Northern Serengeti on the same day.
But now there is a new option for a minimum of 2 passengers in high season:
Masai Mara (11:30am) to Migori (12 noon) in Kenya with SafariLink. Migori (12:15pm) to Tarime (1:15pm) via road across the border in an airline shuttle bus. Tarime (1:50pm) to Northern, Western and Central Serengeti (3:40pm) with Coastal Air. This makes it possible to do a road transfer to the Southern Serengeti as well.
Here is a map of the new route!
Costs range from $384 to $464 per person one way plus taxes for the end-to-end route including the road transfer.
The return flights from the Serengeti starts around 9:05am at Seronera and ends in the Mara at 12:45pm.
