Kenya » Getting to Nairobi
By AirNairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKI). It is the largest airport in the region and handled 4 million passengers in 2004. This airport is usually the first port of call for most tourists visiting Kenya or Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania. Wilson Airport is a small, busy airport to the west of Nairobi. It handles small aircraft that generally operate within Kenya. 
By TrainNairobi was founded as a railway town, and the Kenya Railways (KR) main headquarters are still situated there, near the city centre. The line runs through Nairobi, from Mombasa to Kampala. Its main use is freight traffic, but regular nightly passenger trains connect Mombasa, Nairobi and Kisumu. A number of morning and evening commuter trains connect the centre with the suburbs, but the city has no proper light rail, tramway or subway lines. A JKI airport shuttle rail service is being contemplated. Most people travel by matatu (minibuses), bus, car and by bicycle, and the city is very frequently jammed. By BusMatatus privately-owned minibuses are the most popular form of local transport, and generally transport up to 12 people. In 2004, a law was passed in which all matatus had to include seat-belts, speed governors, and all be painted in a uniform white with yellow band across it.
