This walk should take approximately 15-20 minutes.

  For a quicker option, you can take a matatu (public minibus) from Westlands to Museum Hill. Head to the nearest matatu stage, which is located near Sarit Centre. Look for matatus heading towards the city center (they will usually have signs in the window). Board the matatu and pay the fare, which is typically around 50-100 KES depending on your destination. Inform the conductor that you are going to Museum Hill, and they will drop you off at the closest point. From there, it’s a short walk to the entrance of the museum.
