Nairobi → Naivasha: key facts

Private transfer, Nairobi Airport (NBO) to Naivasha: the car (1–3 passengers) is €160 and the van (4–8) is €230, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 103 km on the road via A8_SOUTH and A8; about 1h 20min off-peak, 1h 20min – 1h 40min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits outside the arrivals exit of the terminal your flight lands at (Terminal 1A for most international flights, Terminal 1E when it is in use, Terminal 1D for domestic flights), after immigration, baggage reclaim and customs, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Naivasha is a market town on the floor of the Great Rift Valley, about 100 km north-west of the airport, next to the freshwater Lake Naivasha. From the airport the road crosses Nairobi on the Nairobi Expressway and Waiyaki Way, climbs to the Limuru highlands and then follows the Limuru to Maai Mahiu road down the Rift Valley escarpment, where viewpoints look across the valley floor. The last section continues north from Maai Mahiu to Naivasha. Heavy lorries use this road, and the escarpment section is slow and winding.

Most lodges and camps line Moi South Lake Road on the southern and western shores of Lake Naivasha, several kilometres from the town itself, so the arrival point is usually a gate on that road. Boat trips to see hippos and birds leave from the lakeside jetties, and Crescent Island, a private sanctuary with giraffes and zebras, is reached by boat. Hell's Gate National Park, known for its gorge and cycling tracks, lies just south of the lake, and Mount Longonot rises to the south-east above the road from Maai Mahiu.

Public transport instead: Kenya Railways (Madaraka Express) train Nairobi Terminus - Suswa from Nairobi Terminus (Syokimau, near the airport) to Suswa station (Rift Valley, south of Lake Naivasha), via Ongata Rongai, Ngong and Maai Mahiu, 1 change. No direct public transport from the airport to Naivasha. Kenya Railways' Madaraka Express serves Nairobi Terminus near the airport and runs on to Ongata Rongai, Ngong, Maai Mahiu and Suswa in the Rift Valley, but not to Naivasha town.
