Nairobi Wilson Airport Taxi

Nairobi Wilson Airport taxi photo

The location of the Nairobi Airport is very handy for anyone who is staying in or travelling in Nairobi. It is just 5 kilometres south of the city and very close to the Nairobi National park. Grab a taxi from the Nairobi Airport and you can be at your hotel in minutes.

A lot of taxi drivers do not seem to have too much to do besides hanging around and waiting for fares at Nairobi Airport and in town. There are no meters in the taxi, so agree on a price and currency (KES or USD) before you get in the car. Also feel free to ask them to wait for you or to return later to pick you up. It might be in your best interest to do this because most taxis wait in very specific areas like hotels and malls. A good way to ensure they return or wait for you is simply agree to pay when they take you back to wherever you want to go. Taxis generally do not roam the streets looking for fares because it would be a waste of fuel.
