Nairobi to Watamu: fly or drive?

Flying Nairobi to Malindi takes about an hour — the fastest option for weekend breaks. Driving takes seven to nine hours via Mombasa or inland routes, depending on stops and traffic.

Families on long holidays sometimes drive one way and fly back. Either way, GK Palms is a short hop from Malindi airport.
