Local Travel

By Air

There are scheduled flights to a number of local destinations from Nairobi to Mombasa, Nanyuki, Kisumu, Malindi, Lamu, Lokichogio and the national parks and game reserves of Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Samburu.

By Rail

You can also travel to a few urban centers in the country by train though this has not been reliable in recent years. Regular bus service links the main urban centers.

By Road

Around urban areas and shorter links between towns, the popular way to get around is by means of matatu (public transport) or taxis. Rental cars are reliably available from Mombasa, Kisumu and Nairobi.

Remember that driving is on the left. Generally, between urban centers the road links are good. The quality deteriorates when you get off the main routes and into more remote locations.
