British Airways has frequent flights to Nairobi. Flights land at Jomo Kenyatta
International Airport, ten miles southeast of Nairobi. Take a taxi into
Nairobi's leafy city centre after Nairobi flights land and you'll soon
see why Nairobi is dubbed the Green City in the Sun. Leave Nairobi's
skyscrapers behind and take a stroll through Uhuru Park or visit Nairobi
National Park, where lions and giraffes enjoy views over central Nairobi.
Travel to/from central Nairobi
After your flights to Nairobi, take a taxi for the 20-minute journey into
Nairobi's city centre. Negotiate the fare into Nairobi with one of the taxi
drivers waiting outside Flight Arrivals. Or arrange a hotel shuttle bus when
you book your accommodation and flight to Nairobi. You can catch a public bus
after your flights to Nairobi but this is not for the faint-hearted or the novice
traveller - taxis are quicker, less risky and certainly less crowded.
Best of Nairobi
If you want to walk off those air miles after your flight to Nairobi, head to lush
Uhuru Park, encircled by Nairobi's shiny city buildings. Immerse
yourself in Kenya's history, culture and art at the Nairobi National
Museum after your flight to Nairobi. Or visit the Karen Blixen Museum
to see the famous Danish writer's former home. Sip a gin and tonic in a
colonial-style bar then turn your sights to shopping before catching your flight
from Nairobi. Scour the markets for traditional fabrics, woven bags and souvenir
carvings, or visit Nairobi's community craft centres to shop for handmade
beaded jewellery.
