NAIROBI TO MOMBASA TRAIN SAFARI

FROM NAIROBI TO MOMBASA TO NAIROBI – EXPERIENCE THE MADARAKA EXPRESS

The High-Speed Train – First in Security, Comfort & Style

Great news for Kenya travelers, vacationers and safari-goers – there’s a high-speed rail line linking the capital of Nairobi to Mombasa on the sunny Kenya Coast.

It’s called the Madaraka Express, and like modern express trains everywhere, it’s fast, safe, comfortable and convenient.

“Madaraka”… it means freedom in Swahili. And the Madaraka Express will bring you the freedom of a speedy and relaxed travel experience.

The Express passes through two of Kenya’s venerable wildlife parks – Tsavo West and Tsavo East. These are long-established parks with great stretches of golden savannah and dusty plain populated with a multitude of wildlife.

Adding to the viewing experience, the train’s pathway is elevated higher than the comparable highway giving riders a greater vantage point to the horizon.

And the train’s large windows allow you to enjoy a bigger vista of those hills, lakes, plains and possibly wildlife.

Modern Functional Amenities

These air-conditioned trains are managed by Kenya Railways with an emphasis on safety, security and comfort.

• Wide, cushy seats with nearby charging stations
• Buffet car with snacks and sandwiches
• Spotless restrooms
• Secure, dedicated luggage areas

Everything about the train is efficient and on time. Traveling at an average speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), the Express makes the full trip from Nairobi capital city to Mombasa at the Kenya coast in about 6 hours.

Compare that to the 15 or more hours the previous colonial-era train took to make the same journey.

The Madaraka Express is a fun, relaxing way to complete your Adventure In The Wild Safaris journey from Nairobi to Kenya Coast beach safaris – a smooth transition from the adventure of safari to an easy holiday at a coastal resort.

When you arrive at the modern Mombasa Railway Station, we’ll pick you up and bring you to your hotel or resort in Mombasa, Malindi, Watamu, Diani or Kilifi beach. So, join us on this addition to our Kenya coastal safari holidays.

We shall use the train safari travel service for Mombasa drop-off which minimizes travel time, provides excellent landscape and some wildlife views, and offers better all-round views from air-conditioned compartments on an elevated level train.
