    as a person who has gone through the Wilson airport i would say it is well organized and information is readily available, as you can see in the video there is a person from the respective airlines to lead you out or into of the ramp area, the buildings have signs and if you get lost there are several uniformed staff to help you out, hope you all enjoy travelling within Kenya and the rest of our beloved continent.

    Having flown with both Safarilink and Air Kenya into and out of Wilson to various bush airstrips around Kenya, I have found that there really is no better way to travel. Both airlines have always given me first class service on all my flights. Many bigger airlines in both Europe and the USA could learn some customer service tips from both these airlines and the Kenyans in general.
