Airport Guide
Compare 5 airports near Eldoret
For most travelers arriving in the region, Eldoret International Airport (EDL) is the primary and most practical choice, as it is the only airport located within the city of Eldoret itself and offers the most efficient transit times for those heading to the downtown area. Travelers can utilize taxis or ride-hailing services for a direct, comfortable arrival. While other options exist, they serve neighboring cities rather than Eldoret. Kisumu International Airport (KIS), situated in the nearby city of Kisumu, is a major international gateway for the region but requires a much longer journey to reach Eldoret. Similarly, Kitale Airport (KTL), Kakamega Airport (GGM), and Kimwarer Airport (KRV) serve their respective neighboring cities and are best reserved for travelers whose primary business or destination is outside of Eldoret. When traveling between these distant airports and Eldoret, visitors should plan for significant travel time, often involving private taxis or longer-distance bus connections, and ensure they confirm transport arrangements in advance to avoid difficulties upon landing.

Wonderful hotel and staff fully wonderfully..
Staff fully helpful and always wanted to help...
Facilities are amazing
The only issue would be some lack of facilities signage
The swimming pool is not clear as to where it is nor is the farmhouse restaurant.
Reception are great but only one key is given as norm despite 2 people staying in a room.
Also clock for London had not been updated correctly. Reception staff wish to update but management seems to be strict on what they can do.
Front entrance are wonderful and so helpful.
Lifts for floor 8 and 3 are common but other floors require room key to work.
Not really explained as it is assumed patrons are fully aware.FromUS$90
