Jomo Kenyatta International (HKJK) is used by BA, Emirates and Air France. BA stopped flying there for 50+ days in 2003 due to airport security issues and the porous border situations. After a $1 million infusion of cash/grant from the USA for updated screening machinery, BA resumed flights, but it was very interesting.

There are no hotels near the airport which sits about 16km south east of Nairobi ajacent to the Nairobi Game Park. Nairobi was the second most dangerous city in the world to live in (after Bogota) prior to 2002 and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Baghdad and Al Nasiriah have those distinctions now.

Many crews have stayed at the Nairobi Hilton and the Intercontinental. Late night arrival rides into town are very dangerous. Downtown Nairobi is dangerous at all times, but especially after dark.

Karibu Kenya!
