💡 Local Tip
If you’re heading to Kakamega Forest, ask your driver to stop in town for supplies first—options near the airport are very limited, and forest stations have few shops.
🚖 Getting There
Pre-arrange a taxi or hotel transfer before arrival, as the airport is small and does not have a large taxi rank. Boda-bodas (motorcycle taxis) and matatus may be available on the nearby main road, but they are less convenient with luggage. The drive to Kakamega town centre is short, so confirm the fare in advance.
