Finding a taxi at Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is easy and convenient. Each terminal at the airport — including Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 — has its own designated airport taxi rank located just outside the Arrivals area.

Although local Nairobi taxis don’t have a fixed color or uniform vehicle type, you’ll find them clearly lined up in the marked taxi zones right outside the terminal exits. These areas are well-organized and easy to spot even for first-time visitors.

Inside the terminal, you’ll notice official airport taxi desks near the Arrivals hall. Friendly staff are available to help you book a taxi directly from the airport without the hassle of negotiating fares with drivers. This option is ideal for travelers who prefer paying on the spot and getting quick assistance upon arrival.

Because Nairobi Airport handles thousands of passengers daily, taxi availability can vary depending on the season and arrival time. During busy travel months, you may experience longer waiting times at the taxi ranks — especially during holidays or peak tourist seasons.

To save time and avoid the crowds, it’s best to pre-book your Nairobi Airport transfer online. With a meet-and-greet service, a professional driver will be waiting for you at Arrivals, holding a name sign, and will help you with your luggage straight to the vehicle.

This ensures a smooth, safe, and comfortable transfer to your hotel, Airbnb, or business meeting — without worrying about queues or last-minute negotiations.
