Bujumbura’s Melchior Ndadaye International Airport (BJM) serves as Burundi’s primary international gateway and typically handles a mix of regional African carriers and occasional international flights. It’s a relatively small, functional airport rather than a major hub, so fares to and from Bujumbura can often be competitive for regional routes but may be higher for long-haul connections due to limited frequency. The airport sits about 9–12 km north of Bujumbura city center; taxis and private transfers are the most common options, usually taking 20–35 minutes depending on traffic and costing a modest local fare, while hotel shuttles are sometimes available. Pros: convenient for quick transfers into the city and straightforward procedures; cons: limited shopping and lounge facilities and fewer nonstop international services compared with larger East African hubs.

Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is Nairobi’s main international gateway and typically functions as East Africa’s primary hub for long-haul and regional carriers, with full-service airlines and several flag-carrier connections. Located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, transfer times into downtown usually range from 30–60 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing, and can be longer during peak traffic; airport shuttles and private transfers are common options. Expect fares to vary with service type and time of day, with metered taxis or app rides often costing more than shared shuttles. Pros: extensive international routes, full passenger services and lounges; Cons: traffic-dependent transfers and occasional congestion at peak periods. Wilson Airport (WIL) serves mostly domestic and regional scheduled flights, plus a large proportion of charter and light-aircraft operations; it’s typically used by local carriers, safari operators and private pilots rather than international long-haul airlines. Situated roughly 5–6 km south of Nairobi’s central business district, travel times are often short—about 15–30 minutes by car—depending on traffic, and local buses or taxis are widely available for quick transfers. Wilson can be more budget-friendly for short-haul regional trips, although facilities are simpler than at the international airport. Pros: proximity to the city and quick check-in for regional or safari flights; Cons: limited amenities and fewer scheduled international connections.
