Eastern Africa Tours Air flights to Kenya

Most international flights to and from Nairobi are handled by Jomo Kenyatta International airport, 15km southeast of the Nairobi city. By African standards it’s a pretty well organised place, with two international terminals, a smaller domestic terminal and an incredible number of shops offering duty free and expensive souvenirs, snacks and Internet access. You can walk easily between the terminals.

Some flights between Nairobi and Kilimanjaro International Airport or Mwanza in Tanzania, as well as many domestic flights use Wilson airport, which is about 6km south of the city centre on Langata Rd. The other arrival point into the country is the Moi International airport in Mombasa, 9km west of the Mombasa city centre, but apart from flights to Zanzibar this is mainly used by charter airlines and domestic flights.

Kenya airways are the main national airline and has a generally good safety record with only one fatal accident since 1977.

Airline/ Flight Tickets to Kenya

If you enter Nairobi with no onward or return ticket you may run foul of immigration and be forced to buy one on the spot-an expensive exercise. Note that you can’t get a standby flight to Kenya unless you’re an airline employee. The airport departure tax for international flights is included inn the cost of your plane ticket.

Intercontinental (RTW) tickets to Kenya

Discount round-the-world (RTW) tickets are a tempting option if you want to include Kenya on a longer journey, but the most common African stop is Johannesburg-if you’re coming from Europe, any ticket that includes Nairobi is usually much more expensive. If you’re coming from Australia or New Zealand the difference may not be so great, but it’s still often cheaper to buy an RTW or Australia-Europe Ticket, stop over in Johannesburg and then buy a ticket on to Nairobi from there.
