Hi,
My flight from masi mara will land at Nairobi

Is Kenya Airlines the same as Air Kenya?

Hmmm

Masai Mara flights with Air Kenya land at Wilson Airport.

I always fly to Zanzibar from Jomo Kenyatta (not Wilson) with Kenya Air.

I hope I am wrong here, but your flight times don't look good.

You have a problem. You are landing at one airport and leaving from another. You need well over 2 hours to be assured of a connection, plus time to get from one to the other. And no, Kenya Air and Air Kenya are two different outfits.

I was going to make the same point. There are two aiports in Kenya, and from the Mara, I have always landed at Wilson, the smaller airport. You should confirm that your flight to Zanzibar also leaves from Wilson. Even if at the same airport, 45 minutes is tight since any delay would almost certainly make you miss that flight. Is 45 minutes a legal connection for a travel agent to book?
