Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 23, 2025

Taxis

Taxis are available at the airport, typically waiting for scheduled flight arrivals. It is highly recommended to pre-book a transfer, either directly with a local taxi operator or through your hotel or safari lodge, to ensure availability and a fixed price. Ride-hailing services like Uber and Bolt may have limited availability in the immediate airport area.

Rental Cars

There are no on-site car rental desks at Nanyuki Airport. Car rentals, particularly 4x4 vehicles suitable for local terrain and safaris, must be arranged in advance. Rental companies based in Nanyuki town or Nairobi can organize for a vehicle to be delivered to the airport for your arrival.

Public Transportation

There are no formal public transit options like scheduled buses or shuttles that directly serve the airport terminal. The nearest public transport options are 'matatus' (minibus taxis) and 'boda-bodas' (motorcycle taxis), which can be found on the main road outside the airport. This is generally not a practical option for travelers with luggage.
