Nairobi.

Getting into Nairobi from the airport

Nairobi is East Africa's business capital and the most developed short-stay market on the continent. The arrivals run is the point in a trip where unfamiliarity costs the most, so a driver booked in advance at an agreed price removes the negotiation entirely.

What a transfer costs

Airport transfers in Nairobi typically run US$5–55 depending on distance and vehicle. Where a driver is booked through Cabana the figure is fixed at booking, there is no surge multiplier, and Cabana takes nothing from the driver, so the fare stays with the person driving.

Cabana has no Nairobi drivers listed yet. Driver sign-up is free and commission is zero.
