Getting There

• Car

  If you're traveling by car from North Eastern Province, head south towards Nairobi. The most direct route is via the A2 highway. Keep driving for approximately 300 kilometers. Once you approach Nairobi, follow the signs for 'Jomo Kenyatta International Airport'. As you enter the city, take the Mombasa Road (A104) exit. The airport is located in Embakasi, and you will see signs directing you to the airport entrance. Ensure you have some Kenyan Shillings for parking fees, which can vary depending on the duration.

• Public Transportation (Bus)

  For budget travelers, public buses (matatus) are available from various towns in North Eastern Province to Nairobi. You'll need to catch a matatu heading to Nairobi from your location, which typically costs between 500 and 1,000 Kenyan Shillings depending on the distance. Upon arriving at a major bus terminal in Nairobi, such as the Nairobi Central Bus Station, take a taxi or ride-sharing service to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. The taxi ride will cost around 300 to 800 Kenyan Shillings and takes about 30 minutes depending on traffic.

• Private Shuttle Services

  Several private shuttle services operate between North Eastern Province and Nairobi. You can pre-book a shuttle which will pick you up from your location. The cost for this service can range from 3,000 to 5,000 Kenyan Shillings per person, depending on the service provider. This option is convenient as it typically drops you off directly at the airport.
