The drive from Moi International to Kilifi
The drive runs north on the Malindi road through Mtwapa and Kikambala, then crosses the 420 m Kilifi Bridge over the creek. Mnarani is just before the bridge, Bofa just after.
On the way you pass Nyali Bridge, Mtwapa Creek Bridge and Kilifi Bridge. 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 Kilifi
Mnarani on the south bank of the creek has the larger hotels, Bofa Beach has villas and eco-lodges, and Takaungu to the south is a quiet village with a few guesthouses.
Regular drop-offs include Kilifi town, Mnarani, Bofa Beach, Takaungu and Kilifi Creek. Once you have settled in, Kilifi Creek and Mnarani Ruins are close by.
Good to know before you land
Mnarani and Bofa are on opposite sides of the creek. Tell us which one when you book so we pick the right side of the bridge.
Uber and Bolt work at the airport, but on a 70 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.
