Travelling from Nairobi to our favourite coastal town of Watamu can be expensive when flights can set you back over $300 USD
Although flying from Nairobi to Malindi is much quicker we decided to try the cheaper alternative, and take the SGR (Standard Gauge Railway) from Nairobi to Mombasa, then a 2.5 hour shuttle from Mombasa to Watamu.
This 6 hour journey passes through the stunning Tsavo National Park and the chance to see wild elephant is high!
But was it worth it?..
