Most international guests transfer from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) to Nairobi city hotels, Karen or Westlands suburbs, or straight onto safari legs toward Masai Mara (via Narok), Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, or Lake Nakuru when timing allows. Tell us your lodge or camp name and we quote the exact route rather than a generic city drop.
Road time is often forty minutes to ninety minutes depending on traffic, time of day, and whether you are heading to central Nairobi, Karen, or the Nairobi National Park area. Peak morning and evening congestion on Mombasa Road can add time. We plan pickup around your actual flight arrival, not a fixed shared-shuttle timetable.
Yes. Share your flight number when you book so we can track typical delays and adjust driver dispatch. You receive meet-and-greet instructions before travel. Unlike shared shuttles that depart on a fixed clock, a private JKIA transfer waits for your party within the agreed window.
Private vehicle for your group — typically a safari 4×4 or comfortable transfer car depending on passenger count and luggage. You are not mixed with other travelers on a shared shuttle schedule. This suits families, photography groups, and anyone arriving with fragile camera gear or tight lodge check-in times.
Yes. Send your departure flight time and hotel pickup address and we quote the return leg with enough margin for Mara or Rift Valley drive-backs when applicable. Same-day safari-to-airport timing from Amboseli or Naivasha needs careful planning — tell us your lodge checkout time so we build realistic road time.
Yes. Many guests book airport pickup plus Kenya 4×4 hire or with-driver packages for Mara and Amboseli days. See our Kenya safari car hire hub for 4×4, with-driver, and self-drive options, or ask us to price transfer plus vehicle days in one written quote so nothing is duplicated.
We arrange meet-and-greet based on your airline and arrival hall. Your booking confirmation includes the driver name, contact number, and meeting point before you land. If you use a visa-on-arrival queue or long immigration wait, message the driver so we adjust without you losing the vehicle.
Yes for many late-night and early-morning international arrivals. Tell us the scheduled landing time when you request a quote so we staff the correct driver window and avoid daytime-only shuttle limitations. Night transfers to Nairobi hotels or overnight near the airport before a Mara departure are common.
Often yes, if you land early enough for the five-to-six-hour road to Narok and Mara gates. Long-haul arrivals after midday may need an overnight in Nairobi or Naivasha before the Mara leg. We advise honestly on same-day Mara access based on your flight time — unrealistic plans risk missing lodge dinner and park entry windows.
We confirm vehicle type, driver, route, and one-way or return legs in writing before deposit. Park fees, lodge nights, and multi-day 4×4 hire are quoted separately unless you book a combined package that lists them explicitly. Fuel, driver gratuity expectations, and waiting time at immigration are clarified in your quote email.
Share your flight details and we will confirm a Nairobi airport transfer with a clear quote.
