The drive from Moi International to Bamburi
After Nyali Bridge the route follows the Malindi road north. Most Bamburi and Shanzu hotels are a short turn off the highway towards the beach.
On the way you pass Nyali Bridge and Bamburi. Weekday rush hours around Mombasa (roughly 07:00–09:00 and 16:30–19:00) can add 20–30 minutes.
Where we drop off in Bamburi
All-inclusive and mid-range resorts run along Bamburi Beach and continue north to Shanzu and Serena Beach, reached by short roads off the Malindi highway.
Regular drop-offs include Bamburi Beach, Shanzu, Serena Beach and Kiembeni. Once you have settled in, Haller Park and Bamburi Beach are close by.
Good to know before you land
Resort check-in is usually from 14:00. If your flight lands in the morning, ask us about a stop at Haller Park or a café on the way.
Uber and Bolt work at the airport, but on a 25 km trip drivers sometimes decline, or ask to switch to cash once they see the luggage. A pre-booked car removes that uncertainty after a long flight.
