GETTING AROUND

The local people often get around on matatus. These local buses are often overcrowded and their safety records is dreadful. Taxis are avialble at a reasonable rate, but are not metred and the rate should be negotiated before the start of the trip.

Hotels can arrange a chauffeur driven car on request. One of our sponsors, Hertz Kenya, can also provide a car either on chauffeur driven or self-drive arrangements.

Travel between Nairobi and Mombasa can be made by bus, train or one of several daily flights. Because of the poor accident record of the train service, we do not recommend travel by train.
