About flights to Kenya
Overview
Kenya is the classic African safari country — the Masai Mara, the Great Migration, Amboseli's elephants beneath Kilimanjaro, and Indian Ocean beaches. Nairobi is the gateway for UK travellers.
Best time to fly to Kenya
The dry seasons (June–October and January–February) are best for wildlife; the Great Migration reaches the Mara around July–October. The price charts on this page show the cheapest dates for your route.
Main gateway cities & airports
Main gateways are Nairobi (NBO) and, for the coast, Mombasa (MBA).
Airlines and routes
Kenya Airways and British Airways fly direct from London to Nairobi in around 8.5 hours; one-stop routes with Qatar Airways, Emirates and KLM serve other UK airports.
Popular places to visit in Kenya
- The Masai Mara: the Great Migration and Big Five
- Amboseli: elephants beneath Mount Kilimanjaro
- Nairobi: the vibrant gateway city
- Diani Beach: white sand on the Indian Ocean
- Lake Nakuru: flamingos and rhinos
Top tips for finding cheap flights to Kenya
- Book several weeks to a few months ahead for the best value.
- Travel outside peak and festive seasons where possible.
- Compare direct and one-stop routes for the best fare.
- Be flexible with dates — midweek departures are often cheaper.
Travel essentials
- Visa: UK travellers need an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA), applied for online
- Currency: the Kenyan shilling (KES)
Baggage & hand-luggage allowance for flights to Kenya
Your allowance to Kenya depends on the airline and the fare you book. The table below shows typical long-haul allowances so you know roughly what to expect — always confirm the exact limits with your airline before you fly.
| Fare type | Hand baggage | Checked baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Basic / Light economy | 1 small under-seat bag | Usually none — add for a fee |
| Standard economy | 1 cabin bag + 1 personal item | Typically 1 × 23 kg |
| Premium economy | 1–2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 23 kg |
| Business / First | 2 cabin bags + personal item | Typically 2 × 32 kg |
Indicative only. Allowances vary by airline, route and fare — always check your airline's baggage policy.
Packing & baggage tips
- Full-service carriers (e.g. British Airways, Turkish Airlines, KLM) usually include a checked bag on long-haul economy fares; basic/low-cost fares often don't.
- Cabin (hand) bag size is commonly around 56 × 45 × 25 cm — confirm your airline's limit before you pack.
- Liquids in hand luggage must be in containers of 100 ml or less, inside one clear resealable bag.
- Weigh your bags at home — airport excess-baggage fees are far higher than pre-booked allowances.
- Extra or heavier bags are almost always cheaper added online in advance than at the airport.
