Your Kenya coast journey starts here.
Mombasa brings together city visits, family reunions and coastal holidays. The right flight depends on where you are staying after landing and whether a safari or Nairobi visit is part of the trip. Share the whole outline so we can compare sensible arrival and departure options.
East Africa · Coastal stays & family holidays
Moi International Airport (MBA) is selected. Send your coastal accommodation address when arranging the onward transfer.
Before you book
Use the hotel's location to plan arrival
Moi International Airport lies west of Mombasa. A stay in the city and a resort elsewhere along the coast need different road arrangements. Confirm your property's exact location with the transfer provider, including the suggested route, pickup point and room for suitcases or children's equipment.
Check Nairobi connections carefully
If your itinerary connects in Nairobi, look at both airport codes and terminals. A separate domestic booking can require baggage collection and another check-in. Tell us if you also have a safari flight so we can identify whether any ground transfer between airports is involved.
Prepare documents for the whole party
Use current Kenya entry guidance for the passport each traveller will carry, including children. Check transit rules for the connecting country too. FCDO guidance is written primarily for British citizen passport holders; Kenya's authorities should resolve questions about other nationalities and individual circumstances.
Questions and answers
Which airport should my Mombasa pickup use?
Use Moi International Airport and code MBA, then supply the flight number and local arrival date. Share the terminal from your airline's latest instructions, particularly if your flight changes before departure.
Can I arrive in Nairobi and leave from Mombasa?
Tell us your intended dates in each place and how you plan to travel between them. We can check different arrival and departure airports, with baggage and ticket conditions considered across the journey.
Should I book the onward coastal transfer now?
First establish your flight and accommodation details. Ask the transfer provider how they handle changed arrival times, where you will meet and whether the quoted vehicle suits everyone travelling with their bags.
