Flights from Oslo to Nairobi – Your Direct Gateway to the Safari Capital

From the Nordic Forests to the African Savannah

The journey from Oslo to Nairobi is a voyage of spectacular contrasts. It transports you from the cool, orderly landscapes of Scandinavia to the vibrant, rhythmic heart of East Africa. Nairobi is the only city in the world with a national park on its doorstep, making it the undisputed safari capital of the world. At Ready2Go, we are your dedicated local partner for this intercontinental adventure. Whether you are traveling to witness the Great Migration, engaging with the "Silicon Savannah" tech scene, or visiting family, we provide the secure, locally-grounded booking service you need to travel to Kenya with confidence.

Why Choose Ready2Go for Your Trip to Kenya?

Flying to East Africa involves crossing continents and time zones. While international search engines can generate a ticket, they often lack the personal support required for complex long-haul itineraries. Ready2Go offers a distinct advantage: we are a Norwegian travel agency that prioritizes your security and peace of mind.

• Local Security & Standards: We operate under strict Norwegian consumer protection regulations. When you book with us, you are supported by a local team. If flight schedules change or you need advice on baggage allowances for safari bush flights, you have a partner who speaks your language and understands your needs.
• Intelligent Routing: There are no direct flights from Oslo to Nairobi. However, our platform analyzes the corridor to find the most logical itineraries. We prioritize efficient connections via major hubs in Europe or the Middle East, ensuring you arrive at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport feeling refreshed and ready for adventure.
• Transparent Pricing: We believe in honest communication. The price you see at the start is the price you pay. We strip away the hidden fees, offering a straightforward booking experience that lets you budget for your game drives and excursions without stress.

The Journey: Oslo (OSL) to Nairobi (NBO)

Connecting the fjords to the equator is a journey of anticipation.

1. Departure from Gardermoen: Your trip begins at Oslo Airport (OSL). As a world-class facility, OSL ensures a smooth start. We recommend utilizing the Flytoget airport express for a punctual arrival. Given the long-haul nature of the trip, arriving 3 hours early allows for a stress-free check-in experience.
2. Flight Duration: The total travel time typically ranges between 12 to 16 hours, depending on the connection. It is a significant journey, but modern aircraft ensure comfort. Use the time to rest, as the energy of Nairobi is immediate upon arrival.
3. Arrival in Nairobi: You will land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). It is the busiest aviation hub in East Africa. The airport has seen recent upgrades, but it remains a busy entry point. Having your documents ready ensures a smoother passage through immigration.

Destination: Nairobi – The Green City in the Sun

Nairobi is a city that defies expectations. It is a cosmopolitan metropolis that sits side-by-side with wild nature.

• The Safari Experience
  You don't have to leave the city to see wildlife. Nairobi National Park is located just 7 kilometers from the skyscrapers of the CBD. Seeing a lion or a rhino with the city skyline in the background is a surreal experience. We also recommend visiting the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to see baby elephants and the Giraffe Centre to hand-feed endangered Rothschild giraffes.
• Business and Innovation
  Nairobi is the economic engine of East Africa. Known as the "Silicon Savannah," it is a hub for tech startups and international NGOs. For our business clients, we help secure flights that align with your schedule, minimizing downtime and jet lag.
• Culture and History
  Visit the Karen Blixen Museum, the former home of the Danish author of Out of Africa, which has a special resonance for Scandinavian visitors. The National Museum of Kenya offers a deep dive into the country's rich heritage and the origins of humanity.

Practical Travel Tips for Norwegians

1. Entry Requirements (eTA): Kenya recently replaced traditional visas with an Electronic Travel Authorisation (eTA). All visitors, including Norwegian citizens, must apply for this online before travel. We recommend doing this as soon as your flight is booked.
2. Health: Consult your GP or a travel clinic regarding vaccinations. Yellow Fever certification is often required, and malaria prophylaxis is recommended depending on where you travel within the country.
3. Currency: The currency is the Kenyan Shilling (KES). Mobile money (M-Pesa) is the primary way locals pay, but international cards are accepted in hotels and malls. Cash is useful for markets and tips.
4. Traffic: Nairobi traffic is legendary. Allow ample time to get from the airport to your meeting or hotel, especially during rush hour.
