Nairobi Airport to Hotel Transfer: Private Pickup & Drop-off

Skip the taxi queue and arrive at your hotel without the airport hassle.

A private transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (18km outside Nairobi) to your hotel, with pickup included and an English-speaking driver. The service runs both directions (airport to hotel and back), and accommodates wheelchairs, infant seats and luggage for groups up to van capacity. Book one vehicle for the whole party and travel at your own pace without waiting for a shared shuttle.

The experience

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport sits 18km from central Nairobi, and the route into the city moves through traffic that can stretch a short distance into a long one. A private transfer means you're not sharing a van with other arrivals or waiting for it to fill up. The driver meets you at baggage claim at a set time, loads your luggage, and takes you straight to your hotel. The vehicle is wheelchair accessible, and if you're traveling with infants, specialized seats are available on request.

The same service works for your departure: arrange a pickup from your hotel at whatever hour your flight leaves, and the driver handles the return to the airport. An English-speaking driver is included, so navigation and timing are settled before you land. The transfer covers transport only, so plan to grab coffee at the airport or your hotel rather than en route.
