Travelling FIRST CLASS on Kenya's SGR | is it worth it?
Travelling from Nairobi to our favourite coastal town of Watamu can be expensive when flights can set you back over $300 USD
Although flying from Nairobi to Malindi is much quicker we decided to try the cheaper alternative, and take the SGR (Standard Gauge Railway) from Nairobi to Mombasa, then a 2.5 hour shuttle from Mombasa to Watamu.
This 6 hour journey passes through the stunning Tsavo National Park and the chance to see wild elephant is high!
But was it worth it?..
How to book SGR:
Tickets can be booked directly with metickets.krc.co.ke/ or with a Big Time Ultimate Transfers (+254 726 779471)
Train Times:
The express train from Nairobi to Mombasa departs every day at 15:00 & 22:00
The inter-county train from Nairobi to Mombasa departs every day at 08:00
Train ticket prices:
First class - 4,500 KES per person
Second class - 1,500 KES per person

Exploring Kenya's Green Spaces & Nairobi's NEWEST Hotel!

The brand new Hyatt Regency Hotel in Nairobi has just opened it's doors and we thought it would be the perfect place to base ourselves for our next big adventure exploring in and around the city of Nairobi.

    Safer to fly especially the roads after the rains must be atrocious, and duelling work on the MSA - MLD highway means the journey isnt pleasant. My dad always drove us during school holidays on NRB - MSA route and I ended up doing a few trips myself, it can be dangerous if you're lulled into speeding but if you stick to 80-100kph and set off 4AM it's a thoroughly challenging and rewarding drive

    • @WhereNextFamily

      Personally I disagree on the comfort side. I found it very comfortable, and lots of space to love around that you don't get on a bus. It's also much much safer than taking the bus. I know the train is not within everyone's budget, so of course in that instance then the bus is the obvious choice, but personally I would pick the train over the bus 10 times out of 10

    As of yesterday what you experienced is now business class. They are bringing in real first class coaches with one seat per window with recliner seats, reading lights e.t.c in a few weeks time. The new coaches will be exactly what you would experience in a first class section in a plane. So I guess you will need to do part two of this first class video.

    Great review Adam I would feel the same about the shuttle bus đŸ«Ł so just to confirm you prebook SGR online before going to the ticket counter in the terminal? I reckon the SGR is good if you’re headed to Diani but Watamu it’s probably better just to fly 😅

      Thank you 😊 yeah sometimes you get a responsible driver but unfortunately a lot of the time these guys are on the clock and they do this route so often that they go into autopilot. Yes, you book your tickets online, then collect at the station on the day (give yourself an hour before your train). Tickets sell out so I wouldn't advise trying to buy on the day.
