Located about 15 km southeast of the city center, travel times to central Nairobi are commonly 25–45 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing depending on traffic, with fares often in a moderate range; airport shuttles and organized transfers are also widely available. Pros: broad route network, full passenger facilities and many onward connections. Cons: can be busy with peak-time congestion and variable security lines. Wilson Airport (WIL) serves mostly domestic and regional flights and is generally positioned as Nairobi’s domestic and charter airport for short-haul connections and safari departures. It typically hosts light aircraft operators, regional carriers and numerous air charter companies, often offering comparatively lower fares for short hops though costs vary with demand and seasonal safari peaks. Situated roughly 6 km southwest of the central business district, travel to downtown is often 15–30 minutes by taxi or ride-hailing; local buses and private transfers are alternatives for budget-minded travelers. Pros: proximity to city center and quick check-in for domestic flights. Cons: limited long-haul options and fewer passenger amenities compared with the international airport.
