✈️ Getting there

NBOJomo Kenyatta International Airport
📍 15 km⏱ 40 min🚕 Taxi🚌 Rideshare (Bolt/Uber)🚌 Airport Shuttle

Bolt (ride-hailing app) from JKIA to the CBD or Westlands costs approximately KES 800-1200 ($6-9) and is significantly cheaper than airport taxis — download the app before landing and pay by card to avoid negotiation.

JKIA is the largest airport in East Africa, a major Kenya Airways hub with direct flights from London Heathrow, Amsterdam, Paris, and Frankfurt — it handles the region's busiest routes and is the main connection point for onward travel to safari destinations.

Don't Miss

Hidden gems and local experiences in Nairobi — beyond the tourist trail.

🦒Visit the Giraffe Centre in Langata before 9am — you can hand-feed Rothschild giraffes (one of the world's rarest species) from a raised platform at eye level. Adults and juveniles, completely relaxed. Book online for $20; busiest between 10am-noon.
☕Buy a bag of Kenya AA coffee direct from a roaster — Dormans on Westlands has been roasting since 1950, and their Kericho estate single origin is outstanding. The city's artisan coffee scene (Artcaffe, Nairobi Java House) is genuinely world-class.
🐆Do a dawn game drive in Nairobi National Park — the park opens at 6am and the hour between sunrise and 7:30am is when lions are most active before the heat sets in. You can arrange a half-day drive with a guide from the main gate for under $100 including park fees.
🍖Eat nyama choma (roasted goat) at Carnivore restaurant in Langata on a weekend lunchtime — it's a tourist institution but the all-you-can-eat rotisserie is a genuine experience and the live music nights on Fridays are where Nairobi's middle class actually socialises.
🛍️Shop for Maasai market crafts at the Maasai Market in the CBD (it rotates locations daily — check nairobishoppers.com for the day's venue) rather than from hotel gift shops, where prices are four times higher for identical goods.
