The Train Transport in Kenya is like no other

Both the Nairobi-Mombasa and the Nairobi-Kisumu "Port Florence Express" have 1st class 2-berth sleepers, 2nd class 4-berth sleepers, 3rd class seats & a restaurant car serving meals, snacks, drinks & beer.

1st class consists of lockable 2-berth compartments which convert from a sitting room with sofa by day to sleeping berths at night. All necessary bedding is provided and there is a washbasin in the compartment. Toilets are located just along the corridor, there are both western & African type, kept reasonably clean although the loo seat may be missing! The 1st class fare includes dinner and breakfast in the restaurant car. If there are more than 2 of you, you can book two adjacent 1st class sleepers with a communicating door, to make a suite for 3 or 4 passengers, so ask when booking. Take your own insect repellent, a bottle of mineral water, and toilet paper. The first class sleeping-cars & restaurant car were built in Britain, their external appearance may remind UK travellers of British Rail! Personal security isn't a huge problem, but do make sure you securely lock your compartment door and close the window at night (using the louvered shutter if you want ventilation). Wandering hands have been known to come through an open window when the train stops at night!

2nd class consists of lockable 4-berth compartments which also convert between two sofas by day to bunks at night, with washbasin. As in first class, take your own insect repellent, a bottle of mineral water, and toilet paper.

3rd class consist of basic seats in open-plan carriages.

However,we only book for 1st and 2nd class services.
