Helpful Tips
Download Uber or Bolt apps before arrival as they're the most reliable ride-hailing options in major Kenyan cities
Matatus (shared minibuses) are the main local transport but negotiate fares before boarding or ensure the meter is running
For Nairobi-Mombasa travel, the SGR train requires advance booking and passport details for all passengers
Boda bodas (motorcycle taxis) are common but ensure the driver provides a helmet and agree on the fare beforehand
⚠️ Common Scams to Avoid
Unofficial 'Helper' Scam: Individuals approach travelers offering to help with luggage or directions, then demand payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help and only using official airport porter services with visible ID badges.
Fake Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers pose as legitimate taxi services, often overcharging or taking longer routes. Avoid by using only official taxi ranks inside the airport terminal or pre-booking through verified ride-hailing apps or your hotel.
Currency Exchange Scam: Unofficial money changers offer 'better rates' but use sleight of hand or provide counterfeit notes. Avoid by only exchanging money at official airport exchange bureaus or ATMs inside the secure terminal area.
