The drive from Moi International to Nyali
The route crosses the island and then Nyali Bridge over Tudor Creek. The bridge is the bottleneck: outside rush hour it is quick, at peak times it can add half an hour.
On the way you pass Makupa Causeway and Nyali 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 Nyali
Resort hotels line Nyali Beach off Mount Kenya Road, with apartments and smaller hotels along Links Road and around the Nyali Centre and City Mall.
Regular drop-offs include Nyali Beach, Links Road, Greenwood Drive, Kongowea and Nyali Centre. Once you have settled in, Nyali Beach and Mamba Village are close by.
Good to know before you land
If you land late and are staying in Nyali, ask us to stop at a supermarket on Links Road on the way; most hotels are a few minutes from one.
Uber and Bolt work at the airport, but on a 15 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.
