How to Get From JKIA to Westlands

If you’re staying in Westlands after arriving in Nairobi, you have several transport options.

1. Airport transfer

A pre-arranged airport transfer is convenient if you want someone to meet you when you arrive.

This can be particularly useful after a long international flight.

2. Ride-hailing

Ride-hailing services are widely used in Nairobi and can provide a convenient way to reach your accommodation.

3. Taxi

Traditional airport taxis are another option. Confirm the fare or pricing method before beginning your journey.

4. Nairobi Expressway

The Nairobi Expressway provides a direct high-speed road connection from the airport side of Nairobi towards the city and can reduce journey times when traffic conditions make it advantageous.

However, journey time still depends on traffic, time of day and the exact destination.

A useful tip

Don’t choose accommodation based only on the airport distance.

A property that looks close on a map may take considerably longer to reach during busy periods.

Consider your entire itinerary: airport, meetings, restaurants, shopping and attractions.
