If You Are Traveling by Public Transport:

You will arrive by matatu (public bus – these are the minivans you can see everywhere). If you are coming from Nairobi, we recommend that you take Mololine Shuttle. The cost of transport to Nakuru from Nairobi is between 200 and 400 kshs (costs varies by company and day.)

You will arrive at the Mololine Shuttle station (if you come with another company you will arrive at the main matatu stop). When you arrive, please call us (0716 705 149 OR 0721 543 406) and we will come and pick you up. If, for some reason, you are unable to call us, Nakuru is not a very big town – and we are easy to find!

If you take any other matatu company, you will arrive at the main matatu stage. Please call us at the numbers above when you arrive. You can also travel with EasyCoach, a very comfortable bus company that will drop you off at the EasyCoach bus station.

In a Private Vehicle:

If you are coming by private vehicle, we are located opposite the Kamba Bus Station/ Kenol Petrol Station, along the Nakuru-Eldoret highay.
