Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), the country’s main international gateway and a regional hub for carriers such as Kenya Airways and several international airlines. NBO is located about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with road journeys typically taking 25–60 minutes depending on traffic; taxis and ride-hailing services are common, while airport shuttles and private transfers can offer fixed fares. For budget-focused travelers, Wilson Airport (WIL) handles many domestic and light-charter flights to safari lodges and nearby airstrips and sits roughly 5–10 km from downtown, usually a 15–30 minute drive. Jomo Kenyatta tends to be more full-service and convenient for international connections but can be busier and pricier for parking and airport services; Wilson is quicker for regional hop-ons but offers limited facilities and fewer airline choices.
