Eldoret International Airport (ELD) has regular flights to Nairobi on Kenya Airways and Jambojet, taking about an hour. The airport is about 15 kilometres from the city centre and has improved significantly with recent upgrades.
By road, Eldoret is about 310 kilometres northwest of Nairobi — roughly 4–5 hours on the A104 through Nakuru, a straightforward journey on a good paved road. Regular bus and matatu services run this route throughout the day. From Uganda, the Malaba border crossing is about 110 kilometres west.
The Kenya Railways standard-gauge railway connects Nairobi to Kisumu, passing near Eldoret at the Moi's Bridge station — check current service status before relying on this option.
