A Convenient Way to Explore Kenya
The SGR offers a comfortable alternative to travelling the full distance between Nairobi and the coast by road. It can also form part of a safari itinerary, with convenient connections to destinations such as Amboseli, Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Taita Hills, Mombasa, Diani, Kilifi, Watamu and Malindi. Come Travel Kenya manages more than the reservation — we coordinate the complete journey before and after the train so travellers are collected, guided and connected smoothly.

Passengers must present the identification documents required for their reservation and journey. Come Travel Kenya facilitates the booking and coordinates related travel services but does not operate the railway or control train schedules, seat allocation, delays, cancellations or railway regulations. Travellers should arrive at the station within the recommended reporting time provided with their booking. International travellers should also confirm their Kenya entry requirements are in order before travel.
