Nairobi is served by two main airports with distinct roles. Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is the primary international hub, handling most long-haul and regional flights with full-service carriers and some low-cost operators; it sits about 15–20 km southeast of the city centre, typically a 30–60 minute drive depending on traffic. Taxis, ride-hailing apps and airport shuttles are common (fares often ranging from affordable metered rates to moderate flat fees). Wilson Airport (WIL), located roughly 5 km south of downtown, is usually the base for domestic, charter and regional safari flights and is favored for quick connections to Kenya’s parks. It can be reached in 15–30 minutes by taxi or shuttle at lower comparative prices. Pros: NBO offers broad international connectivity and more amenities; Wilson is convenient for domestic and bush-bound travellers. Cons: both can be affected by Nairobi traffic and peak-time queues; travellers may prefer extra time for connections.
Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) serves as a busy regional and low-cost gateway for the UAE, often handling a mix of budget carriers and some full-service airlines connecting the Gulf, South Asia and Africa. The airport sits about 15–20 km northeast of Sharjah city center and can be reached by taxi in roughly 20–30 minutes depending on traffic; fares are typically lower than Dubai transfers. Public buses and shuttle options are available with longer travel times but lower costs. Advantages include generally cheaper fares and shorter queues than Dubai’s major hubs, while downsides can be limited long-haul connections and fewer premium lounges or transfer amenities.
