Getting There
-
Car
If you're traveling by car, start your journey from Nairobi. Take the A104 highway towards Namanga. Continue on A104 for approximately 150 km until you reach the junction for the A109 road towards Mtito Andei. Follow the A109 for about 90 km. Look for signs indicating Chyulu Hills National Park. The entrance to the park is located off the Chyulu Hills Road. Be prepared for potentially rough terrain, and consider a 4x4 vehicle for better access. The park's entrance is open from 6 AM to 6 PM. There is an entrance fee, which varies depending on whether you're a resident or a non-resident, so check the latest rates before your trip.
-
Public Transportation
To reach Chyulu Hills National Park via public transportation, first, travel from Nairobi to Mtito Andei. Buses leave from the Nairobi Central Bus Station, and the journey takes about 3-4 hours. Once you arrive in Mtito Andei, hire a local taxi or matatu (shared minibus) to take you to the entrance of Chyulu Hills National Park, which is approximately 30 km away. Confirm the fare with the driver beforehand. Ensure you arrive at the park entrance before 6 PM, as the gates will close at that time.
-
Taxi or Ride-Sharing
If you prefer a more direct route, consider hiring a taxi or using a ride-sharing service from Nairobi. This option is more costly but offers convenience. The journey will take around 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on traffic. Make sure to agree on the fare in advance or use a ride-sharing app to avoid any misunderstandings. Again, ensure you reach the park entrance before closing time.
