Taking the train from Nanyuki to Nairobi with Kenya Railways

The train stops in many towns, making the total trip duration 8.5 hours. This is significantly longer than by road, but doesn't make the trip any less beautiful!

Kenya Railways offers economy- and first-class tickets, which can be bought at the designated train station on the spot before departure.

The train was secured by two guards, who were on the lookup at every stop. The scenery is impressive. The train is a good way to see more of central-Kenya: you will see more nature than when moving by road.

The train has lots of windows. That is good for ventilation; but also makes more dust come in. As you close in on Nairobi it can get quite dusty!
