BY road: Directions From Nairobi 

Option 1:

There is now an alternative route that means you do not have to go on the Mombasa Road. You can use the A104 Athi River to Namanga road, and just before you reach Kajiado, after “Enchula Resort” you can turn left onto a fully tarmacked road signposted “Imaroro D524” that connects to the C102 Emali to Loitokitok road through Selengei. Google maps will tell you that this option takes 45 mins longer than using the Mombasa Road, however, taking into account there are no trucks or traffic, it is a much safer, more scenic and often faster option.

(Note: You can join the A104 Athi River to Namanga Road via the Ngong Road or through Ongata Rongai to Kiserian, and then on to Isinya. This avoids any traffic due to the current road works on the Mombasa Road and Waiyaki Way.)

Continue on the C102 for approximately 55km, and once through the town of Isineti and out the other side you will see a fence-line on your left and then you will come to a new section of speed bumps and an elephant crossing with two sets of dangling vertical wires. Within this corridor you will see a sign on your left pointing you to the Kimana Sanctuary entrance gates down a dirt track.

Option 2:

Take the A109 Mombasa Road to Emali.

Pass through Emali town and cross a bridge over the railway before taking a right turn onto the C102 to Loitokitok. Stay on this road for approximately 80kms.

Without traffic the journey from Nairobi should take approximately three and a half hours. Kimana Sanctuary is a location on Google maps, so easily searchable for directions.

BY AIR:

There is a private airstrip at the Sanctuary. Coordinates: 2º 44' 55'' S, 37º 31'31" E. Please give at least 24 hrs notice before landing and be careful of wildlife on the airstrip.
