Travel

Airport

Nairobi is served by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), East Africa's largest aviation hub with frequent connections across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. The airport is located approximately 15 km from the city centre and offers convenient access via taxis, ride-hailing services, hotel transfers, and airport shuttles.

Visa requirements

Participants are advised to review Kenya's entry requirements before making travel arrangements. Most international visitors are required to obtain a Kenya Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) prior to departure. A visa support letter will be available for download from the event platform after completing registration.

Travel tips

• Weather: February is typically one of Nairobi's warmest and driest months, with pleasant daytime temperatures and cooler evenings. Light clothing is recommended during the day, with a light jacket or sweater for early mornings and evenings.
• Transport: Reliable transport options include ride-hailing services such as Uber and Bolt, licensed taxis, hotel-arranged transfers, and private shuttle services. Pre-booking airport transfers is recommended during peak arrival periods.
