What flying Lagos to Nairobi actually looks like
Kenya Airways runs the nonstop on this route and gets you from Lagos to Jomo Kenyatta in about five hours and twenty minutes, which for most travellers ends the discussion. Nairobi is a business destination first — conferences, NGO and development work, regional head offices — and on a same-week trip the direct flight is usually worth whatever modest premium it carries.
The connecting options exist and can be cheaper, routing via Kigali, Addis Ababa, Accra or Dar es Salaam, but they roughly double the journey. Nairobi is also East Africa's main connecting hub, so if you are continuing to Kigali, Kampala, Dar es Salaam or Zanzibar, tell us and we will price the whole trip on one ticket.

Before you book Lagos to Nairobi
Kenya uses an electronic travel authorisation
Kenya moved from a visa to an electronic travel authorisation that is applied for online before departure. It is quicker than a consular visa but it is not automatic and it is not issued at the airport — get it approved before you fly.
Yellow fever certificate is expected
Arriving from Nigeria, you should have your yellow fever card with you. It is a standard check on this route.
Nairobi is a good onward hub
If your trip continues into East Africa, a single through ticket from Lagos is usually cheaper and always safer than buying the second leg separately.
