1. Smooth Arrival and Immigration

Once you step off the plane, follow the signs to Immigration and Visa Control. Kenya offers eVisa services, which you should ideally apply for online before traveling. The process is usually quick, and friendly immigration officers will stamp your passport for entry.

Tip: Have your travel documents ready — passport, return ticket, and hotel booking — to speed up the process.

2. Baggage Claim and Customs

After immigration, head to baggage claim to collect your luggage. The conveyor belts are clearly marked by flight number, and airport staff are available to assist if needed. Customs officers may ask you to declare high-value items or goods, but the process is typically straightforward.

3. Currency and SIM Cards

Before heading out, you’ll find currency exchange booths and mobile service desks offering local SIM cards. Safaricom, Airtel, and Telkom Kenya are the main providers — all reliable for mobile data and calls.

Tip: It’s often cheaper to withdraw cash in Kenyan shillings (KES) from an ATM than to exchange currency at a booth.

4. Getting to Your Destination — Safely and Comfortably

Once you exit the arrivals hall, you’ll find many taxis waiting. However, for peace of mind, pre-booking your transfer with BoB Van Transfers is highly recommended. Our driver will be waiting with a name placard, ready to assist with your luggage and take you directly to your hotel or residence.

With BoB Van Transfers, you avoid overpriced taxis, language barriers, and long waits. We guarantee on-time pickups, professional drivers, and modern vehicles for every traveler.

5. What to Expect in Nairobi

Nairobi is a city of contrasts — a lively blend of skyscrapers, wildlife, and warm hospitality. Within minutes of the airport, you’ll see why it’s called “The Green City in the Sun.”

From the Nairobi National Park (where lions roam just outside the city) to vibrant neighborhoods like Karen, Westlands, and Lavington, there’s something for everyone.

6. Pro Tip: Book Your Return Transfer Early

Traffic around JKIA can be unpredictable, especially during rush hours (6–9 a.m. and 4–8 p.m.). Save time and avoid stress by booking your return airport transfer in advance with BoB Van Transfers — ensuring you never miss a flight.
