Answer # 1 #

Getting from Nairobi CBD to JKIA by bus is actually pretty straightforward and affordable! The most common route is using the Kenya Bus Service (KBS) or City Hoppa buses that go via Jogoo Road. Here's how:

  • Pickup points: You can catch these buses from various stops in the CBD, especially around Haile Selassie Avenue or River Road area
  • Look for buses labeled "JKIA" or "Airport" - they're usually green or blue
  • The route goes through Jogoo Road, then onto Mombasa Road directly to the airport
  • Travel time is about 45-60 minutes depending on traffic
  • Cost is around KSh 100-150

Just make sure you leave early because Nairobi traffic can be unpredictable, especially during rush hours! The buses drop you right at the airport terminals.

I use this route frequently and here's my pro tip: Take the Bus Number 34 from the Old Nation House bus stop. It goes directly to JKIA via Jogoo Road and is super reliable. The buses run from about 5 AM until 9 PM. If you're carrying lots of luggage, try to avoid peak hours because the buses get really crowded. There's also a newer service called Commuters that has more comfortable buses on the same route for about KSh 200. Whatever you choose, give yourself at least 2 hours before your flight to account for any traffic delays!
