Wilson Airport (WIL) in Nairobi opened in 1929 and today operates as a compact but busy domestic and regional hub with two main passenger terminals and several charter aprons. Sitting on the edge of Nairobi National Park about a 15–25 minute drive from the city center, Wilson is a key gateway for air safaris and short-haul East African routes, handling a high volume of light aircraft and regional services. It’s easily reached by taxi, ride‑share, shuttle or local matatus, though road traffic can add time. Fares are generally affordable for scheduled domestic flights, with higher prices for private charters; it serves as a base for regional carriers such as Safarilink and AirKenya.
