Transportation to Airport from Nairobi City Center
Jomo Kenyatta Intl. Airport
You can reach the airport from Nairobi city center by taxi or the airport shuttle service that is provided by your hotel. There are the minibuses called 'matatu' and the buses for the passengers who prefer public transportation. Renting a car is another transportation alternative you can prefer. You should keep in mind that the traffic in the city is particularly dense during the day, and you should set out early no matter which means of transportation you prefer.
Bus
You can get on the bus number 34 departing from the city center to reach the airport. Ticket price only costs 50 KES and your journey takes about 40 minutes.
Hotel Shuttle Services
Hotel shuttle services offered by the hotels are one of the most comfortable transportation alternatives if you don’t want to lose time with renting a car because it is necessary to bargain with taxi drivers and means of public transportation are troublesome. If your hotel provides this service, you need to contact your hotel in advance and make a reservation to take advantage of this service.
Taxi
Taking a taxi is generally a frequently preferred transportation option in the city. However, you should remember that you need to bargain for taxi fare. If you are going to take a taxi to reach the airport, you can ask your hotel to help you with this, so you can travel by a trusted and safer taxi. You can reach the airport in about half an hour by taking a taxi.
Matatu
In addition to the buses, matatu option is also available for those who prefer public transportation. You can reach the airport by these minibuses that are quite cheap, but you should keep in mind that you might have difficulty if you have lots of luggage because matatu minibuses are very crowded and the drivers usually drive fast and carelessly.
Rent a car
You can find the offices of many car rental companies in the city center. You need to drive straight through the A101 Mombasa road to reach the airport. If you are going to rent a car only to reach the airport, you can rent a car with a driver or you can rent a car from a company that has an office at the airport.
You should keep in mind that the traffic flows on the left side and the traffic rules are not very effective. You should also remember that the traffic is extremely heavy at certain times before deciding on the time you will leave.
Transportation to Mahe Island City Center from Airport
Seychelles Intl. Airport
The most preferred transportation option for travelling to the city center from Seychelles International Airport is taxi, but using the airport shuttle service offered by your hotel is also a comfortable and trouble-free option. In addition, you can rent a car at the airport and have a comfortable transportation vehicle during your visit. If you are one of those preferring the means of public transportation, you can get to the city center by getting on the buses departing from the airport. This is the most budget-friendly transportation alternative. If your travel will continue to another island, you can use the service offered with helicopters or fixed wing aircrafts.
Taxi
It is possible to reach the city center comfortably by using the taxis departing from the airport. The average cost of travelling to the city center from Seychelles International Airport by taxi is 75 SCR in day tariff and 100 SCR in night tariff.
Car Rental

Bus
You can reach the city center by using the buses departing from Seychelles International Airport every 20-25 minutes. Ticket price is only 3 SCR. This bus route operates from 5:30 am to 7:30 pm during the day. It lasts about 20 minutes to reach the city center from the airport.
Hotel Shuttle

While this service is sometimes offered as shared, private vehicle can also be allocated for passengers wanting a special service. You can get in contact with your hotel and learn whether they offer this service or not. You can make a reservation and get information about the pricing policy in advance. If you find this service suitable for you, you can get to your hotel comfortably.
