Visiting Kenya

Zanzibar

Flights from Mombasa to Zanzibar are a great way to get from one of Kenya’s most popular beach holiday destinations to Tanzania’s beloved Indian Ocean archipelago.

There are several airlines that offer flights from Mombasa to Zanzibar. Some are regional East African airlines, some are Kenyan low-cost airlines, and others are larger European airlines.

The list of airlines that fly from Mombasa to Zanzibar includes Condor, which flies from Frankfurt to Zanzibar via Mombasa, Fly540, a budget airline that offers cheap flights to Zanzibar, as well as Jetairfly, Precision Air, and ZanAir.

There are good, reliable airlines that fly to Zanzibar, and there are not-so-good ones. Low-cost airline Fly540 is a good airline that flies high-quality planes and offers cheap flights. The airline is a good option for flights from Mombasa to Zanzibar.

On the other hand, Precision Air is not a very good airline. It has a habit of overbooking its flights and rebooking people on later flights. Most of the time they do not notify passengers of these changes until they arrive at the airport. In light of this, only book with Precision Air if you have to.

All flights from Mombasa to Zanzibar take off from Mombasa’s Moi International Airport (MBA). They land at Kisauni Airport in Tanzania, which is also named Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ). The Zanzibar airport is on the island of Unguja and is located just south of Stone Town.

Zanzibar

Flights from Nairobi to Zanzibar are a great way to get from Kenya’s capital to Tanzania’s most famous islands.

All flights that travel on this route depart from Nairobi’s Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and arrive at Zanzibar International Airport (ZNZ), which is also called Kisauni Airport. The airport is located on Unguja Island several miles south of Stone Town.

Flights from Nairobi to Zanzibar are operated by a number of different airlines. These include both large international airlines and smaller regional ones, including Air Uganda, Fly540, Kenya Airways, and Precision Air.

Some airlines that offer flights from Nairobi to Zanzibar are more reliable than others. Fly540 is generally one of the better airlines and offers good prices compared to the others. Precision Air is one of the worst. It is notorious for overbooking flights and bumping passengers to later flights without notifying them. Avoid it if you can.

Malindi Flight

The planes that are used on flights from Nairobi to Malindi are small propeller planes that do not have a lot of space in the overhead bins. As such, if you do not want to check a bag at the desk or plane-side, make sure to bring only a small carry-on.
