The route passes through vibrant neighborhoods like Milimani, providing a glimpse of local life, with charming houses and bustling markets along the way.
When arriving at the airport, expect a relatively straightforward pickup process. The arrival area can be busy, but it's manageable for first-time visitors. Aim to travel during off-peak hours, typically early morning or late evening, to avoid congestion and enjoy a smoother ride. It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with local customs, such as greeting your driver politely, as this sets a pleasant tone for your journey.
