Collect your bag at baggage claim. Search it for any faint white chalk marks. Rub off immediately. Do not wait. Check all sides. Check the handle and zippers teeth. Have a cloth and bit of water ready for the task.
Take bag to customs area. If it is marked, it is searched.
Exit and turn to the right.
Follow until you see a cafe on the right, then turn and go past it.
Another cafe is on the left. There you can rest and leave your luggage in one corner. Can't miss it.
Just behind this is the ramp to go down and cross the street to DOMESTIC FLIGHTS 60-45 mins before your flight.
Check all your bags but a VERY small carry on. It's just easier. I have paid for 1 checked bag for you. Let me know if you have more, please.
Enter, go through security to check in, then to your gate. Wait there at gate for rest of our party to arrive.
ARRIVAL at NBO 1st day
DEPARTURE last day
If you are needing an Antigen test, it can be found in the parking structure behind the cafe. Current info (as of July 2022) is that none is now required. *Yay*!
PCR tests are no longer required to fly to the USA if you are a US citizen.

After deboarding, you will likely pass this piece of art below--depending on which terminal you fly into. Then you will see the the currency exchange windows. There are two. Either is fine. All terminals have the currency exchange immediately before the baggage claim. This is where I get my Kenyan shillings.
This mural is in the baggage claim area.
Traveling to Kenya
I recommend using Qatar Air.
- British Air has lost two bags of two different volunteers, both in my trip March of 2023, and that of another mission group I know May 2023. I wouldn't advise using them.
- Turkish Air left me stranded at their airport between flights because mine arrived after my connection left thirty minutes early! Almost no one spoke English. Anywhere. Plus, I felt like a criminal upon return from Kenya to the USA when I was in Istanbul and had to pass through 4 passport examinations within 10 feet of each other at the gate. It was puzzling.
- eVisa's will be procured about a month before departure. Do not get it sooner than that. If you need any help at all with it, please reach out to me. Choose a password that is easy and you don't mind sharing with me. I will log in and fix your issue. The turnaround time for it to be issued if there is a hang up is usually within hours, or less. I have helped many people after spending HOURS on my first one.
