Traveling with

Kenya Railways

  • Excellent and punctual well run

  • Very nice trip !! Very happy about the standart of the train from Nairobi to Monbasa !! Please improve the seat cushion and it will be a perfect economy class !!

  • System easy and train stations were clean and seemed newly built. Great trains, helpful staff. We bought first class at station as only a little more expensive.

  • It was good to travel with train. On the way I saw elephants, zebras, warthogs. Seats are a bit hard. Security at the entrance asked me if I have lighter and e cigarette. They said it is dangerous. Those are not dangerous in a plane. Overall it was a good travel.

  • Easy to book a trainticket and pay with creditcard, mobile money or whatever. Travelling is comfortabla and the ticket can be printed at the station with the information you receive per e-mai.

  • It was a very nice experience Very comfortable
