Transport to Malindi

Hello everyone,

I am planning to stay at Malindi's Hemingways Resort next month, and my only option is to fly to Nairobi.

From there, what should I do? If I fly to Mombasa, can I take a taxi from Mombasa to Malindi? It's 75 miles away, how much will it cost me approximately?

Also, can you recommend agencies to take me on safari tours?

Thank you very much.

Best regards,

Susana

Hi Susana

You will very easily get a taxi from Mombasa to Malindi - I don't know the exact cost but it will be inexpensive. It may also be worth asking Malindi's Hemingways Resort if they can arrange pick up for you are Mombasa Airport.

Regarding safaris: have a look at these - they can be arranged with pick up from your hotel.

Hello
I think the best option is to ask the to make an arrangement of picking you from the Airport.Cheers, Jeff

hi sussana,
transport in kenya is not expensive. im a student at the university of nairobi but my family is based in mombasa.
if you choose to use the tour operators it would be costly.
otherwise its only 2us$ from mombasa to malindi
get in contact with me so i can tell you more

Welcome to kenya.

it will be more fun if you ask the tour operator to get you a group / team to do safari with. that way it may be more fun.

You can travel by public means to malindi it is cheaper, also safe.

If you need any help while in nairobi , i can help you out.

Susan,

Hello there, I beleive the best exciting way to travel to Malindi is by Road, why travel by Air, dont you want to see the Kenyan land and its beauty, come on, be ambitious and hit the road instead, just get a Vehicle, hire one, aint expensive, I think its 10,000Kshs or less per Day, get a driver who is well versed with the Mombasa - Malindi Road, then move enjoying the baeutiful scenerio - it will be worth it.

Trust me, it will be worth it.

Peace

Hello Susana,

We are travelling to Malindi in September 05 from Nairobi and we arranged a flight from Nairobi to Malindi, Direct. Kenya Airways has one flight into Malindi daily (I think). We are travelling to Kenya via British Airways and our travel agent arranged the Kenya Airways flights as an "add on" to the British Airways flights. Our resort also provides airport pickup in Malindi.

Caution: We were advised to fly back to Nairobi via Mombassa because we have to catch the British Airways evening flight the same day. There are more flights to Nairobi from Mombassa which provides a greater comfort level of making the connection in Nairobi. Our resort will provide a car for 90 Euros for 2 people to take us from Malindi to Mombassa.

Hope this helps! Enjoy Hemingways, I understand it is lovely.
Cheers
