Everything you need to know about booking a private airport transfer from JKIA — flight tracking, vehicle options, and what information you need to confirm a pickup.
01
After a long-haul flight, the last thing you want is to be haggling over fare or waiting for a rideshare driver to find the right terminal exit at JKIA. A pre-booked private transfer means someone is holding a sign with your name on it the moment you clear customs — no negotiation, no uncertainty, no standing around with luggage in the Nairobi heat.
02
Give us your flight number when booking and your driver tracks the actual landing time, not the scheduled one — so a delayed flight doesn't mean an abandoned pickup. This matters more than people expect: several of our airport transfer bookings each month come from travelers whose connecting flights ran hours late, and a pre-arranged transfer absorbs that without extra cost or stress.
03
Solo travelers and couples typically go for a saloon or the Executive Toyota Alphard for a bit more comfort after a long flight. Families or small groups do well with the Toyota Noah/Voxy or an 8-seater tour van. Corporate groups or wedding parties arriving together often book the 10-14 seater executive van so everyone travels in one vehicle instead of splitting across multiple cars.
04
The same private transfer service covers hotel-to-hotel moves, transfers to Wilson Airport for connecting safari flights, and point-to-point trips around Nairobi if you'd rather not deal with traffic and matatu routes during your stay. It's the same booking process — just a different pickup and drop-off point.
05
Flight number, arrival date and time, number of passengers and luggage, and your drop-off address are all we need to lock in a transfer. For chauffeur-driven bookings, no license or ID documents are required from you — that paperwork only applies to self-drive rentals.
