Which airport should I choose—Jomo Kenyatta or Wilson?

Jomo Kenyatta International (JKIA) is Nairobi's main airport, handling most international flights. Wilson Airport is smaller, closer to the city centre, and used by some regional carriers and charter services. Check your flight itinerary to confirm which airport you're using.

How long does the transfer take?

The journey typically takes around 2 hours depending on traffic conditions and your hotel location within Nairobi. Factor in additional time for airport procedures (immigration, baggage) if arriving, or check-out if departing.

Can I request a specific vehicle type or feature?

The booking includes a standard private car. Contact the supplier directly after booking if you have specific requirements (e.g., child seats, wheelchair accessibility) to confirm availability.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

For arrival transfers, your driver will monitor your flight status and adjust accordingly. For departure transfers, communicate any delays to the supplier as soon as possible to reschedule pickup.

Is the driver English-speaking?

Professional drivers typically speak English and are experienced with international visitors, but confirm language preferences when you receive your booking confirmation.

Can I add a return transfer or extend the journey?

This is a one-way transfer only. Book a separate return transfer when needed, or inquire about multi-leg options or hourly rental rates with the supplier.

our driver Giulia was brilliant and help with the bags at both ends was the highlight, and did it on our first morning.

our driver Marco was brilliant and help with the bags at both ends was the highlight. Did it on our first morning so it wasnt too busy. Blew our bali one out of the water, and great if youre not super fit, and tracked my delayed flight. Would book again no question.
