From Nairobi To Mombasa And Back – Experience The Madaraka Express
The High-Speed Train – Leading in Security, Comfort & Style
Great news for travelers to Kenya, vacationers, and safari enthusiasts – a high-speed rail line now connects Nairobi, the capital, to Mombasa on the beautiful Kenyan coast.
This service is called the Madaraka Express, and like other modern express trains worldwide, it promises speed, safety, comfort, and convenience.
The name “Madaraka” translates to freedom in Swahili. The Madaraka Express offers the freedom of a quick and relaxed travel experience.
The train journey passes through two of Kenya’s most famous wildlife parks – Tsavo West and Tsavo East. These parks are known for their vast stretches of golden savannah and dusty plains, home to a variety of wildlife.
What enhances the viewing experience is that the train’s route is elevated above the nearby highways, offering passengers better views of the horizon.
The train’s large windows provide expansive views of the hills, lakes, plains, and possibly even wildlife, giving you an unforgettable experience.
Modern Amenities for Your Comfort
Managed by Kenya Railways, the air-conditioned trains are designed with a strong focus on safety, security, and comfort.
The seats are spacious and comfortable, with easy access to charging stations.
If you’re feeling hungry or want to stretch your legs, there’s a buffet car where you can relax with a snack or sandwich.
The train’s restrooms are kept clean, and your luggage is secure in designated areas for bags of all sizes.
The service is efficient and punctual. The Madaraka Express travels at an average speed of 120 km/h (75 mph), covering the distance between Nairobi and Mombasa in about 6 hours – a vast improvement compared to the 15+ hours the older colonial-era train took for the same journey.
The Madaraka Express is an enjoyable, stress-free way to connect your Kenya safari experience with a relaxing beach holiday at the Kenyan coast.
Upon arrival at Mombasa Railway Station, we will transport you to your hotel or resort in Mombasa, Malindi, Watamu, Diani, or Kilifi. Join us for this exciting addition to your coastal safari holiday experience.
Using the train service for the Mombasa drop-off reduces travel time, offers excellent landscape and wildlife views, and provides better all-around vistas from the elevated, air-conditioned compartments.
