The new bypass connects both Mombasa SGR train station and Moi International Airport. This means we will no longer be using the ferry to reach Diani and Galu. The long wait has finally come to an end. The good news is that from any of the Diani resorts, it will now take approximately one hour to get to the airport (excluding any multi-stops at resorts), the journey will be faster than it has ever been. The new route goes through virgin farmland with beautiful scenery.
As a leading DMC, we have been lobbying to have this new route officially opened for the convenience of our mutual guests travelling to Diani. The bypass is also a huge welcome for safari guests to both Tsavo East/Tsavo West, Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary and Amboseli on the slopes of Mt. Kilimanjaro. This bypass allows for a more seamless and efficient journey reducing time to reach the Southeastern Parks of Kenya.
The bypass will also provide a more efficient journey for those guests wishing to take Mombasa city tours and other excursions in the north coast of Mombasa.
