Tips for 25 min Connections
If arriving on an international flight to connect onto a delta charter, confirm your safari operator has staff meeting you at the terminal, as charter transfers are handled manually rather than through an automated system.
Luggage on light aircraft is strictly weight-limited (usually 20kg in soft bags), so repack before you land if connecting from a larger international flight.
Charter flights operate on flexible schedules tied to lodge transfers, so a 'connection' here is often more about matching a departure window than a tight gate-to-gate transit.
Weather and wildlife-related delays are common in the delta network, so build extra buffer time beyond the stated MCT during peak safari season (June–October).
The terminal is compact with no dedicated international lounges, so expect basic facilities while waiting.

High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
There is no train or bus system; passengers walk across the tarmac or a short access road between the main terminal building and the light-aircraft charter apron used by operators like Mack Air and Wilderness Air. Security re-screening is minimal — a basic bag check/weigh-in for charter flights rather than a full airport-style checkpoint.
