Cheap and colourful servicing many city destinations as well as outlying routes. TAXI Taxis are quite cheap and plentiful in Nairobi, Mombasa and other cities. Many are decrepit but there are also dozens of London 'black cab' taxis operating. Always agree the fare before starting the journey. On the left hand side of the road as in Australia, Japan, UK etc.
Some roads are in poor condition.
You can drive yourself or take a driver with you for a little extra cost. Car hire is relatively expensive. Some of the cars available are of poor quality. There are services on Lake Victoria between Homa Bay, Mfangano Island and Rusinga Island. From Mombasa, Malindi and Lamu you can take an Arab style dhow along the coast - unless specifically operated for tourists, there are no facilities on the dhows but it is a marvellous experience.
