Which airport is closer to Bungoma?
Both are about an hour from the hotel, so the choice usually comes down to which flight suits you rather than which airport is nearer. Kisumu and Eldoret both take domestic flights from Nairobi.
The hotel does not run its own airport transfer. Arrange a car before you fly, or call the front desk and they will tell you what is usually available.
What if your flight lands at night?
It does not matter. Reception, the restaurant and the bar are open 24 hours a day, so there is someone awake whatever time you arrive and the kitchen can still feed you. The property has 24-hour security and secure parking.
If you know you will be very late, say so when you book, or call +254 712 433 433 on the day so the front desk is expecting you.
Should you book before you travel?
Yes, and no card is charged to do it. Send your dates and the room you want; the front desk checks the room is free, holds it and replies. You settle the bill at the hotel.
- No deposit, and no card details taken online
- A reply from the front desk, not an automatic confirmation
- Or book by phone on +254 712 433 433
