Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the primary international hub for Kenya, handling most long-haul and regional carrier flights including full-service and many low-cost operators; fares can vary widely depending on season and carrier. It lies about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre, with road transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; airport shuttles, taxis and app-based rides normally run KES-equivalent fares that can be moderate to high by local standards. The airport has extensive passenger facilities and good onward connections, though congestion and variable wait times can be drawbacks. Wilson Airport, closer to town at roughly 5–7 km, caters mostly to domestic and light aircraft charters—useful for safari connections and short hops. Transfers to Wilson are usually 10–25 minutes by taxi or private transfer at modest cost; expect fewer amenities and simpler terminal facilities compared with the international airport, balanced by quicker check-ins and convenience for domestic departures.

Dodoma Airport (DOD) functions mainly as a regional and domestic gateway within Tanzania rather than a major international hub, serving government and business travelers to the national capital. Flights are typically operated by local carriers and domestic branches of larger airlines, so fares can be competitive compared with larger international airports but may vary with limited frequencies. The airport sits roughly 10–15 km from Dodoma city center; taxis and private transfers are the main options, taking about 15–30 minutes depending on traffic and costing modest fares in local currency, while occasional shuttle services or ride-hailing can appear. Pros: compact layout, short transfer times and straightforward arrivals. Cons: limited amenities, fewer carrier choices and less frequent long-haul connectivity.
