Here you will find all operators and timetables for a Bus from Nairobi to Mombasa

What are the most popular stations in Nairobi and Mombasa?

In Nairobi, you will usually depart from Kampala Coach Coach Stop, Koja Coach Stop or Eldoret Bus Stop, while in Mombasa you will be arriving at Dreamline Bus Stop, SGR MSA Train Station or Coast Bus Stop, but there are many more stops to explore in both locations.

How do I decide? Some tips and tricks from our experience

Are you having trouble deciding on how to get to Mombasa from Nairobi? With 4 connections between 7 Bus and Flight operators, it can be difficult to find the one ride that will make you happy. But we have some tips that can help you make the best informed decision. First of all, the best trip is always the one that meets all your needs, so make a list of all the things that you want from this journey and look for something that will satisfy all of them. Here we will go through some of the factors mostly commonly taken into consideration.

Look for the lowest price

Ticket price is usually the main concern: even if you can afford to pay more, why do it if there are cheaper options? Saving on the trip means that you can spend more on the vacation itself! Between Nairobi and Mombasa, you can pay as low as £10 with a Bus from Tahmeed Coach.

Travel duration

Time is also an important factor. An earlier departure may allow you to see a beautiful sunset or relax before an important event. And remember, time is money, so paying more for a shorter trip may be well worth it. For longer distances, flights are without doubt the best options, but be mindful of airport times and possible delays: a high-speed train may end up cheaper and faster! Here the quicker option is definitely the Bus from Ena Coach: you will get to Mombasa in just 8h 0m.

Comfort makes all the difference

You should always take into account what your personal travelling preferences are. Is one hand luggage enough, or are you trasporting more? Would you like to have a snack during the journey? Can you relax in a busy compartment, or do you need space for yourself? Even among the same mode of transportation, different companies will offer you varying levels of comfort and amenities. The main operators connecting Nairobi and Mombasa are Ena Coach, Tahmeed Coach and Coast Bus, but be sure to check what they have to offer!

Save money with deals, and always compare
