Jomo Kenyatta International Airport

Website: www.kenyaairports.co.ke

Lying 15km (9 miles) southeast of the city centre on the Mombasa Highway, Jomo Kenyatta International Airport is East and Central Africa's largest and busiest airport.

Airport facilities are basic but include a bank, exchange bureau, duty-free shops, restaurant and coffee shop.

To get from the main airport to the city centre, take a taxi from outside the arrivals hall. Ignore the taxi touts within the buildings. Taxis don't have meters so be prepared to haggle for the fare and agree a price before setting off. Alternatively, catch the Metro Shuttle that runs to the city centre or the bus that departs from outside the arrivals hall for the River Road district.

It is possible to charter small planes to visit game parks and more remote regions of the country, useful if you have more money than time to spend in Kenya. Charter flights can be organised at the much smaller Wilson Airport (tel: (020) 501 941) on Langata Road.
