Training venue

Nairobi offers a wide range of modern hotels and conference venues, including international chains and dedicated training centres with reliable meeting facilities and catering suitable for professional programs.

Getting there

Most international delegates arrive via Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), about 15–30 km from key business districts; licensed airport taxis, app-based ride-hailing services and hotel transfers are the most common options to reach central Nairobi and training venues.

Visa

Kenya has introduced a visa-free regime for all foreign nationals, but travelers must complete an electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) online before arrival; confirm current requirements and processing times well ahead of travel.

Safety

Central business districts and major training venues are generally busy and secure, but delegates should use registered taxis or app-based rides at night, keep valuables discreet, and follow local advice on areas to avoid after dark.
