Accepted Answer

To get from Nairobi to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your Nairobi to Melbourne flight, you can opt for a hotel transfer, taxi, or bus.

If you’re travelling on a budget, Bus Line 34 offers cheap fares to the airport, with services departing every 20min or so. Once you’ve landed in Melbourne, you’ll have several transport options. Taxis pull up outside of the arrivals hall, so you can simply head to your nearest exit to catch one. You can also use a rideshare app to order a lift from Melbourne Airport. If you’re heading into Melbourne’s CBD, the SkyBus is a convenient and budget-friendly option. It departs every 15min or so and drops passengers at Southern Cross Station in the heart of the city.

Which cities can you get to from Melbourne Airport?

One-way flights from Nairobi to Melbourne are perfect if you want to explore the state of Victoria. In addition to being the state capital, Melbourne is often referred to as the cultural capital of Australia. Here, you can explore the laneways and street art in the CBD, relax on the beaches that line Port Phillip Bay, and even visit the little penguin colony in St Kilda. While exploring these central regions of the vast city, the trams are a fun way to get around. The Number 16 Tram will take you from Swanston Street in the CBD to St Kilda. Follow the coast of Port Phillip Bay south from St Kilda, and you’ll reach the Mornington Peninsula, where you can take a dip in the famous Peninsula Hot Springs. Head about an hour east to get to the Yarra Ranges National Park, famous for its world-class wineries. About an hour west, you’ll find Geelong, which is your gateway to Victoria’s famous Great Ocean Road. Heading to the south of Geelong, you’ll find the beautiful coastal town of Torquay. Here, you can enjoy the surf, and if you love a good road trip, you may wish to head west to visit Anglesea, Warrnambool, and the other towns along the Great Ocean Road. While car hire is an excellent option for reaching these places, there are plenty of regional trains departing from Melbourne. To head out to the Great Ocean Road area, look for the Geelong and Warnambool V/Line train, which departs from central Melbourne stations like Southern Cross.
