Antes de ir
Desde el aeropuerto
Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) is about 15km from the city center. The most convenient option is a pre-booked taxi or ride-hail app (Uber/Bolt), costing approximately KES 1,500-2,500 ($12-20) and taking 30-60 mins depending on traffic. There is no direct train; buses are cheaper but not recommended for first-time visitors with luggage.
Cómo moverse
The city center (CBD) is very walkable for short distances, but sidewalks can be crowded and uneven. Neighborhoods like Karen and Westlands are more spread out, requiring transport between points. Walking after dark is not generally advised.
Consejos de la zona
- Always carry some small denomination Kenyan Shilling (KES) notes for tips, small purchases, and matatu fares. While cards are accepted in malls and upscale places, cash is king elsewhere.
- Use trusted taxi apps like Uber, Bolt, or Little Cab for safe, reliable, and metered rides. Avoid hailing random taxis off the street, especially at night.
- Learn a few basic Swahili greetings. A simple 'Jambo' (Hello), 'Asante' (Thank you), and 'Habari?' (How are you?) will be warmly appreciated and can enhance your interactions.
