Explore the Heart of Kenya: Your Dream Safari Starts Here

Welcome to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA) in Nairobi, Kenya—a gateway not just to this vibrant city but to the vast, wild beauty of East Africa. Imagine stepping off your plane and being greeted by the warm, equatorial sun, a preview of the adventure that awaits. With Trawelmart, your journey through JKIA transforms from a mere stopover to an integral part of your Kenyan safari experience. **Best Time to Visit**: Your adventure begins the moment you choose the perfect time to explore. Nairobi, being near the equator, enjoys a moderate climate, but each season offers a unique palette of experiences. The dry months from June to October and January to February are ideal for wildlife sightings, as animals congregate around water sources. The long rains of March to May bring lush, rejuvenated landscapes but might restrict movement due to muddy conditions. Festivals like the Nairobi Film Festival in February or the Magical Kenya Expo in October provide cultural insights you won’t want to miss. Visiting during the quieter rainy seasons means fewer tourists and more intimate encounters with the city and its surroundings. **Must-Visit Attractions at JKIA**: 1. **Observation Deck**: Start with the rooftop observation area. As planes taxi on the runway, feel the thrill of imminent journeys and distant lands. 2. **Maasai Market**: Located within the airport, this is a kaleidoscope of colors and crafts. Pick up traditional Maasai jewelry or vibrant Kitengela glass - each piece tells a story of Kenya’s rich heritage. 3. **Simba Salon**: For a taste of local flavors, the Simba Salon offers dishes that are a sensory explosion of spices and textures, a preview of Kenya’s culinary diversity. 4. **Wildlife Lounge**: Decorated with African decor, this lounge gives a sneak peek into the safari experience that lies ahead. It's a quiet space to relax and anticipate the adventures. 5. **Art Gallery**: Showcasing works from local artists, it’s a silent narrative of Kenya’s artistic journey. Each painting and sculpture has a story, a snippet of the artist’s view of their homeland. Insider Tip: For a hidden gem, ask about the Transit Hotel within the airport. Perfect for long layovers, it offers a comfortable rest without leaving the airport. **Practical Travel Information**: To truly absorb the essence of JKIA and its surroundings, a minimum stay of 2-3 hours is recommended. However, if you're looking to delve deeper into the shops, lounges, and dining areas, allocating 5-6 hours would be ideal. There’s no entry fee to the airport, but dining and shopping could range from budget to luxury, depending on your choice. Utilize Trawelmart’s exclusive partnerships for lounge access deals and dining discounts. **Operational Details**: JKIA operates 24/7, reflecting the non-stop pulse of Nairobi. Early mornings or late evenings are best for avoiding the crowds. While the airport is efficient, booking your experiences with Trawelmart in advance ensures a seamless and personalized journey through the airport. **Travel Experience Highlights**: Embrace local interactions through Trawelmart’s curated experiences like a brief guided tour of Nairobi’s history which can be enjoyed right within JKIA.
