How to Reach Nairobi

How to get in and get around Nairobi

The way in which most people get around when they need public transport is by using the matatu (taxi), which is normally a minibus. They operate on regular routes and pick up passengers along the way, which is convenient as you can embark and disembark wherever you want to along the road. There are also regular bus services but these operate on a schedule and only according to time. You can identify the matabu by the yellow line on the side of the vehicle. For a more formal form of transportation, there are taxi companies that you can phone and make a booking.  There are also buses and trains that can be convenient if you want to travel around the city.
