Travel Tips

GETTING TO KENYA

Mombasa International Airport is accessible via charter or scheduled flights from various international airports, some connecting through Nairobi’s JKIA. Domestic flights from Nairobi’s JKIA or Wilson Airport also fly directly to Diani Beach (Ukunda Airport).

With the new bypass, the drive from Mombasa Airport to Diani now takes only about 1 hour. Transfers from Moi International Airport or Mombasa’s Railway Station take approximately 1 hour. Arrival and departure transfers are available upon request but are not included.

To apply for a visa to Kenya, all travellers must obtain an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA) online through the official eCitizen platform at www.ecitizen.go.ke or the dedicated eTA site at https://immigration.go.ke/eta/, as all visitors are required to have an approved eTA before travelling to Kenya. The application involves registering on the eCitizen portal, logging in, selecting the Department of Immigration Services, choosing to submit an application, and then selecting “Kenyan Visa” to proceed.
