    Great experience. We were met curbside by very helpful staff. Safe vibrant area of the city. When you return for your bags save a few minutes for a cocktail at the pub.

    Really handy location for Kings Cross and St Pancras.  Staff were very helpful and very security conscious.  Much better value than the in-station outlets but very busy so be sure to book early.

Luggage storage at Nairobi's station and airport

A late flight out of Nairobi or an Airbnb that won't hold your bags can leave you with hours to kill and nowhere to put them.

Intercity rail and shuttle services carry luggage under their own rules, while the main road link into town gets you between the airport and the city centre quickly. The areas travellers actually head for, from Westlands to Karen, sit some distance from the airport, so a bag plan helps before you set off. JKIA has a left-luggage facility that is open around the clock. The airport luggage facility charges KSH 300 or US$ 4 per bag per day. Nairobi Terminus in Syokimau, the SGR hub, sits about 10 to 15 kilometres from JKIA. With Stasher, you can store bags from US$1.49 per bag per day.

Some top Stasher locations in Nairobi include:

Most nearby points cluster around Nairobi CBD. Local hosts include local shops, postal services and local offices. Every booking comes with the Stasher Guarantee, which protects your bags up to US$13,000. Stasher storage in Nairobi can be booked through the website or app.

Arriving in Nairobi and getting around with luggage

Nairobi sits in south-central Kenya and doubles as both the capital and the region's main financial centre. The fastest road link between JKIA and the city centre is the Nairobi Expressway, with off-peak journeys taking roughly 20 to 30 minutes. For rail connections, Kenya Railways runs a Link train from Nairobi Central Station to Nairobi Terminus for anyone continuing on the Madaraka Express. There's also a dedicated JKIA Express service from Nairobi Central Station, using a Diesel Multiple Unit train to Embakasi Village Railway Station followed by a short bus connection, with the whole trip taking about 30 minutes.

Bag rules and luggage on trains and shuttles

Kenya Railways sets practical limits for the Madaraka Express: suitcases and handbags must be easy to carry and fit through train doors measuring 160 cm by 200 cm by 60 cm. The service runs intercity between Nairobi Terminus and Mombasa, stopping at Mariakani, Miasenyi, Voi, Mtito Andei, Kibwezi, Emali, and Athi River along the way.

Super Metro Sacco asks passengers to state how much luggage they're carrying at booking, while ENA Coach charges excess baggage fees above 15 kg.

Exploring Nairobi and nearby areas with bags

Westlands, the city's commercial and nightlife district, lies 8 kilometres from JKIA and takes 20 to 25 minutes via the Nairobi Expressway in light traffic. The Nairobi CBD sits 18 kilometres from the airport and is also reachable on the expressway, with a toll of KES 330. If wildlife is on your list, head south to Karen and Langata, where the Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum, and David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust sit 25 to 35 kilometres from JKIA.
