Nairobi airport to hotel later in evening
So the international terminal in Nairobi burned down. We arrive early September, later in the evening, before connecting with the tour. Any advice about the best way to get to our hotel, a Serena, half way into Nairobi?

We arrive at 9:20 pm on BA and are departing at 6 pm (arriving at 7:10 pm)the following evening for Arusha on Precisionaire. We had to pay extra for that. It wasn't part of the BA charge. As I mentioned, it necessitates an overnight (also a late check-out) in Nairobi. My biggest worry has been the visa situation. We have single entry visas, but, really, we are entering Kenya twice (once you leave the airport, I understand, that is considered an entry). HOWEVER, there is a small caveat on the embassy website that mentions a "single entry visa allows re-entry from Tanzania." Very confusing. Spoke with Tauck rep who wasn't positive and referred me to the travel document expert who was also not positive. Of course, then there's the transit visa, but since I got the single entry first, I cannot get the transit after the fact. Hate to spend the extra $50 for the multiple entry if I won't need it. A Kenyan expert on the Trip Advisor forum tells me that what I have is fine, and I read the instructions correctly! So-o-o, we shall see what happens when we roll into Nairobi the first time. If it is wrong, I figure we will have plenty of time then to get it corrected. I hope I'm not still there when you arrive in February!!
If you would not mind, I would greately appreciate it if you could share with me your trip experience and provide tips. BTW, this is our 13th Tauck trip and the third one to Africa. We did Morroco and South Africa an Elegant adventure. my email is fbalzaretti@idc.com.gt
