Nairobi is served mainly by Jomo Kenyatta International (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta acts as Kenya’s primary international hub, handling most long-haul and regional carriers as well as full-service and some low-cost airlines; fares here can be mid-to-high compared with regional alternatives. It sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city center, with taxis or ride-hailing taking roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic (fares vary widely; expect higher rates by meter and fixed-price apps). Shuttle buses and airport transfer services are also available. Wilson, located closer to downtown (about 5–10 km), is typically used for domestic and safari flights by charter and regional operators; travel time is shorter and fares tend to be lower. Pros: Jomo Kenyatta offers extensive international connections and modern facilities; Wilson is convenient for quick domestic departures. Cons: both can be affected by Nairobi traffic, and Jomo Kenyatta can be busy during peak periods.
Lilongwe’s Kamuzu International Airport (LLW) is Malawi’s main international gateway and typically serves a mix of regional carriers and a few long-haul services, with smaller domestic flights linking the capital to other Malawian towns. The airport sits roughly 25–35 minutes by car from Lilongwe city centre (about 25 km) depending on traffic; taxis and hotel shuttles are common, and a private transfer can be the quickest option. Fares for taxis generally fall in a modest range, while shuttle costs are usually lower per person. Pros: compact layout and straightforward customs make connections relatively easy. Cons: limited retail and lounge facilities compared with larger hubs, and schedules can be less frequent outside peak travel days.
