Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers as well as full-service and some low-cost airlines; fares to/from NBO can be mid-to-high relative to the region depending on routing. It lies about 16 km southeast of the city center, with taxi or ride-hailing typically taking 30–60 minutes (fares vary) and airport shuttle buses or private transfers offering more predictable pricing. Pros: comprehensive international facilities, many airline choices. Cons: traffic to the city can be heavy and security/processing can add time. Wilson Airport, closer to central Nairobi at roughly 6 km, is a smaller domestic and regional airport mainly for light aircraft, safari charters and some low-cost operators; transfers are short (10–25 minutes) by taxi or ride-hail and fares tend to be modest. Pros: quick check-in and proximity to the city; cons: limited international connectivity and fewer passenger amenities.

Kigali International Airport (KGL) is Rwanda’s main international gateway and typically functions as a compact, well-organized hub for regional and long-haul flights, often served by carriers like RwandAir, Kenya Airways and some European and Middle Eastern airlines.

The airport sits about 10–15 km (roughly 20–30 minutes) south of Kigali’s city centre; taxis and ride-hailing services are common (expect modest meter or app fares), while hotel shuttles and private transfers are also widely available. Pros: efficient layouts and short queues compared with larger hubs; cons: limited shopping and late-night dining options and fewer low-cost carrier choices than bigger regional airports.
