Getting Around Nairobi

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is 18 km southeast, 30–75 min by transfer. Nairobi traffic is notoriously heavy — peak hours (07:00–10:00, 16:00–20:00) can double transit times. Wilson Airport (WIL) handles safari flights. Private transfers with vetted drivers are essential for safety and door-to-door comfort.
