Getting from Mombasa airport to the city center

Mombasa, Kenya's second-largest city and a major coastal destination, is served by Moi International Airport (MBA), located approximately 10 km west of the city center. The airport offers various airport transfers to city center options including taxis, ride-hailing services, matatus (shared minibuses), and private transfers. Journey times typically range from 20 to 45 minutes depending on traffic conditions, which can be heavy during peak hours. The coastal city's transport infrastructure provides travelers with affordable and convenient options to reach hotels, beaches, and the historic Old Town.

Notes:

  • Prices in KES; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Matatus depart from the main road outside the airport; a short walk from the terminal is required.
  • Ride-hailing apps (Uber, Bolt) are widely available but may have limited drivers during off-peak hours.
  • Traffic congestion is common during morning and evening rush hours; allow extra time.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
