Day by day plan

1. Day 1

   Nairobi to Kuala Lumpur

   You fly from JKIA with one connection, often through Doha, Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Total travel time is about 12 to 17 hours. Our airport transfers in Nairobi can take you to JKIA first. At Kuala Lumpur International Airport you clear immigration and meet your driver. The ride to your hotel in the city takes about an hour. Settle in, shower and eat something simple.

2. Day 2

   Kuala Lumpur city tour

   Your guide takes you to the Petronas Twin Towers for photos, then to Merdeka Square, the National Mosque and Chinatown. You pass colonial buildings next to glass towers. Lunch is a local favourite such as nasi lemak. In the afternoon you can go up the KL Tower for a view over the whole valley. Dinner is on Jalan Alor, a street full of grills and fruit stalls.

3. Day 3

   Batu Caves and free afternoon

   A morning drive takes you to Batu Caves, a Hindu shrine inside a limestone hill. You climb 272 steps past a giant golden statue. Dress modestly and keep food hidden, because the macaque monkeys snatch snacks. In the afternoon you can shop at Pavilion or Suria KLCC, or relax at the hotel pool. Shopping here is cheaper than in Singapore.

4. Day 4

   Up to Genting Highlands

   After breakfast your driver takes you to the foot of the hills and you ride the Genting Skyway, a long cable car that climbs above the trees. At the top the air is cool, often 15 to 20 degrees. You can visit the indoor theme park, shops and food courts. You sleep at a Genting hotel. Bring a light jacket for the evening.

5. Day 5

   Back to the city and free time

   You ride the cable car down and return to Kuala Lumpur by road. The afternoon is free. Many guests spend it on souvenirs at Central Market, a batik workshop or a spa. For a different taste, try a Malaysian tea or kopitiam breakfast tomorrow. Dinner is free tonight.

6. Day 6

   Fly home

   You transfer to the airport and fly home through a Gulf hub. Allow three hours at the airport for check in and security. You land at JKIA the same day or early next morning. Keep your receipts if you bought electronics or gifts, since customs may ask about them.

Why book a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi

Kuala Lumpur is a hidden bargain and it is easy to enjoy. On a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi, a good hotel room costs less than half the price of Singapore and a street dinner costs about the price of a Nairobi lunch.

That is why a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi works so well for families, groups of friends and first time Asia travellers. You can spend on comfort and still keep the total sensible.

Is it better to go to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur?

Singapore is cleaner, pricier and more futuristic. Kuala Lumpur is warmer, cheaper and more relaxed. Many Kenyans combine the two and that is what our Singapore and Malaysia packages do.

If you want one city and a good price, pick Kuala Lumpur. If you want cleanliness and polish, see our Singapore holiday packages.

Hotel tiers for a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi

A 3 star hotel in Kuala Lumpur is spacious, clean and often has a pool. A 4 star puts you in the Bukit Bintang or KLCC area, within walking distance of malls and food. A 5 star gives you tower views, a spa and strong service.

At Genting, hotels are large resort buildings. Rooms are standard and the setting is the attraction.

• 3 star: roomy, pool, near an LRT station
• 4 star: Bukit Bintang or KLCC, bigger rooms
• 5 star: skyline views, spa and club lounge

What to eat on a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi

Malaysia is a food country and it is cheap. Try nasi lemak, which is coconut rice with sambal and egg, plus roti canai, satay and char kway teow. Fresh mango and durian stalls appear on every corner.

Most food is halal friendly and Muslim travellers eat easily. Vegetarians do well in the Indian restaurants of Brickfields. Jalan Alor comes alive each evening and prices are posted on the menus.

• Nasi lemak for breakfast, about MYR 6 to 12
• Satay skewers at a night market
• Teh tarik, sweet pulled tea, in a kopitiam
• Bottled water is safer than tap water

Flights for a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi

There is no nonstop flight. Etihad, Emirates and Qatar Airways connect through Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Doha. Ethiopian Airlines can connect through Addis Ababa with partner flights. Allow 12 to 17 hours in total.

Guide fares to Singapore run from about USD 845 to 875 return and Kuala Lumpur is usually similar or a little lower. We confirm the exact fare when we quote your trip.

Visa and safety rules for Kuala Lumpur

Published guidance has shown that Kenyans can stay in Malaysia visa free for up to 30 days as tourists. We confirm the current rule when you book, because policies change.

A Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi needs one more step, because Malaysia asks foreign visitors to submit a free digital arrival card online before landing. We help you complete it. Carry your return ticket, hotel bookings and a passport valid for six months. Malaysia may also ask for a yellow fever certificate, so check our guide to vaccinations and malaria.

Overstays and fake job offers

The Kenya High Commission and the Kenyan government have cautioned citizens about two real risks. One is overstaying, which can bring fines and even jail time. The other is fake job agencies that lure Kenyans on tourist visas.

Come as a visitor and leave on time, as every Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi traveller should. Never hand your passport to a stranger offering work. Our packages include return flights and fixed hotel bookings, which is exactly what immigration officers look for.

Day trips from Kuala Lumpur

If you want more time, we can swap the free afternoon for a day trip. Melaka is a UNESCO heritage city about two hours south, with red colonial buildings, river cruises and Peranakan food. Putrajaya is the planned government city, with pink mosques and wide lakes.

Cameron Highlands is a tea country about three and a half hours north. It needs an overnight, so we quote it as an add on. Each extra is priced in writing before you agree.

Best months for a Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi

Kuala Lumpur is warm all year, with highs near 32 degrees. June to August is the driest period. Heavy afternoon rain is common from October to November and in April. The rain passes in an hour or two.

Genting stays cool and often misty, so pack a jacket in any month. School holidays and Chinese New Year are busy, so book early. Check Kenyan school dates in our Kenya public holidays guide.

Planning timeline

Start about three months ahead. Check passport validity first, then book your yellow fever shot if needed. Choose your tier, pay the deposit and we hold the flights. We send the arrival card guidance and final papers two weeks before you fly.

4. Confirm with a deposit. A deposit holds your vehicle, guide and rooms. You get a written confirmation with every detail and the date the balance is due.

You ride in a safari vehicle with a pop up roof, with a professional driver guide who knows the parks. Water is in the cooler box and park fees are sorted in advance so you do not stand in a queue at the gate.

We also stay reachable. If something changes on the road, a flat tyre, a closed route or a sudden storm, we sort it and keep you posted on WhatsApp.

Paying safely

We share payment details in writing only and every payment gets a receipt. The payment options and the balance date sit on your written quote, so nothing is left to memory or a phone call.

Why book with a Nairobi team

We live here. We drive these roads all year, we know which camps are honest about their photos and we know when a park is too busy to enjoy. That local knowledge is what turns a good Kuala Lumpur package from Nairobi into a great one. Our Google rating sits at 5.0 from 46 reviews and we plan to keep it that way.
