    In this video I am sharing with you my honest opinion about the SGR train in Kenya. Is it worth it to take the SGR from Mombasa to Nairobi in the first class? Or is it better to choose the plane instead of the SGR train booking?

    Do you know if it’s possible to take a bike onto the train..?

    • @KenyaTravelSecrets
      @KenyaTravelSecrets  Před 2 lety +1

      Puh bicycles are not very often seen in Kenya for travellers. And the train really has less space...so this could be a tricky one.

      hihi. I hope the video helped to make a decision. With 13 pax it could be fun to be honest. My accent is Kenyan / German :) and let me know if you need some help in planning your trip

    You mentioned there is public transport from SGR terminal to Diani. Is it direct or do I have to change? Is it possible to carry big lugage? How long does it takes? Thank you for your reply

    • @KenyaTravelSecrets
      @KenyaTravelSecrets  Před 2 lety

      Yes this is there. It will take maybe 2hours (depending on traffic) for around 500 KSH (Dollar 5). One big bag is not an issue. When it is more I would recommend maybe a taxi

    Definitely plane. The security is so strict on the train. You can't have any personal speakers. It's silly. And no electronic smoking devices. I had to bribe a security to get mine back.

      Actually the SGR was built at a cost of two SGRs. It's not China's fault. ​@@behrouzrezahatami6935
