Day by day plan

1. Day 1

   Nairobi to Kuala Lumpur

   You fly from JKIA with one connection through Doha, Dubai or Addis Ababa. Total travel time is about 14 to 18 hours depending on the layover. A driver meets you at Kuala Lumpur airport and takes you to your hotel. Check in, shower and sleep. Tomorrow is a city day, so keep your energy. Our airport transfers in Nairobi can take you to JKIA.

2. Day 2

   Kuala Lumpur city tour

   A guide collects you after breakfast. You stop at the Petronas Towers for photos, drive past Merdeka Square and visit the Batu Caves with their 272 rainbow steps. Lunch is at a local food court, where a plate costs about MYR 12 to 20. The evening is free for Jalan Alor street food or the shops at Pavilion.

3. Day 3

   Fly to Langkawi

   After breakfast you transfer to the airport for the one hour flight to Langkawi. A driver takes you to your resort and the rest of the day is yours. Walk onto Pantai Cenang beach for the sunset. Swim, eat grilled fish and sleep to the sound of waves. This is where the holiday slows down.

4. Day 4

   Langkawi island tour

   A guide takes you around the island. You ride the SkyCab cable car up Mount Mat Cincang and walk the curved Sky Bridge if the weather is clear. You stop at Eagle Square in Kuah, the waterfalls at Telaga Tujuh and a duty free shop for chocolate or perfume. Cable car tickets are included in our price.

5. Day 5

   Island hopping or mangrove tour

   Choose a boat day. Island hopping visits Dayang Bunting, where you can swim in a freshwater lake. You also stop at the Eagle feeding spot. The mangrove tour in Kilim Geoforest Park takes you through tunnels of roots past monkeys and sea eagles. Both tours take about four hours. The afternoon is free for the pool or a spa.

6. Day 6

   Free morning and flight home

   Have a last swim and breakfast. Your transfer takes you to Langkawi airport for the flight to Kuala Lumpur and your connection home to Nairobi. Buy duty free gifts before you fly. If you want more beach time, ask us to add two nights on Langkawi or a Singapore stop.

How Much Are Langkawi Packages from Nairobi?

Our guide prices for 6 days and 5 nights are KES 196,000 in 3 star hotels, KES 221,000 in 4 star and KES 266,000 in 5 star. Each is per person sharing a twin room and includes return flights from Nairobi.

Single travellers pay more because a room costs the same for one or two people. Bring a friend and the sharing rate applies to both of you. Langkawi packages from Nairobi cost more than a Dubai break because the flights are longer and need a connection. The reward is a beach with warm sea water all year.

Listed prices for a similar Malaysia trip from India or Singapore operators look lower, but they start from a different airport. Langkawi packages from Nairobi must include the long haul fare, so compare the total and not the land part only.

What Our Langkawi Packages from Nairobi Include

You get one booking for the long haul flight, the short hop to the island, hotels, transfers and tours. We also help you with the visa step and the arrival card. That means one team to call when a flight changes. Our Langkawi packages from Nairobi are private, so you travel on your own dates with your own driver.

For a bigger Malaysia trip with more city time, read our Kuala Lumpur and Genting packages or the Singapore and Malaysia packages.

Hotel Tiers on Langkawi and in Kuala Lumpur

All tiers include breakfast. The star rating changes the beach access, the pool and the room size more than the tours. Ask us for a pool on every tier of our Langkawi packages from Nairobi.

• 3 star: clean rooms in central Kuala Lumpur and a simple Langkawi hotel a short walk from Pantai Cenang
• 4 star: Bukit Bintang or KLCC area in the city and a pool resort with a sea view on Langkawi
• 5 star: tower hotel in the city and a beachfront resort with a private cove on Langkawi
• Overwater or villa rooms can be quoted on request for honeymoons

Flights for Langkawi Packages from Nairobi

There is no direct flight from Nairobi to Kuala Lumpur or Langkawi. You connect through Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Addis Ababa. Fares to Kuala Lumpur have run from about USD 800 to 900 return. We add about USD 70 for the island flight. Departure times change by season, so we confirm yours at booking.

Malaysia is 5 hours ahead of Nairobi. Expect to feel tired on day one. Book early for August and December, when fares rise and seats on the island flight sell out. Langkawi packages from Nairobi use these routes.

Malaysia Visa for Kenyan Passport Holders

Recent reports say Kenyan passport holders can enter Malaysia for up to 30 days without a visa for tourism. Rules change, so we confirm the current rule when you book. Malaysia also asks visitors to fill in a digital arrival card online before landing. We help you with it.

Ask about this early in the booking, because a wrong assumption about entry rules is the most costly mistake on any trip abroad. We never ask you to pay for flights before the entry rule is checked.

• Passport valid for at least 6 months with blank pages
• Return flight ticket and hotel booking, which we supply
• A yellow fever certificate may be asked for on arrival from Kenya
• Send your passport page on WhatsApp and we check the rule for your dates
• Carry a printout of your hotel vouchers in case immigration asks

Best Months for Langkawi Packages from Nairobi

December to March is the driest time on Langkawi, with calm seas and sunny days of 30 to 33 degrees. April is hot and still good. May to October brings more rain on the island, with the heaviest showers in September and October, but rooms cost less and showers are short.

Kuala Lumpur has afternoon storms in most months. Carry a small umbrella. Kenyan school holidays in April and August both work for Langkawi packages from Nairobi, although August needs earlier booking.

Costs on the Ground and What to Pack

The Malaysian ringgit trades at about KES 29. A local meal costs MYR 10 to 25, a restaurant dinner MYR 40 to 80. Boat tours and cable car upgrades add up, so budget KES 25,000 to 40,000 for food and extras over six days. Plan these costs into your Langkawi packages from Nairobi budget early.

• Light cotton clothes, swimwear and a thin rain jacket
• One modest outfit with covered shoulders and knees for temples and mosques
• Reef safe sun cream, a hat and sunglasses
• No plug adapter needed, since Malaysia uses the same three pin plugs as Kenya
• A small dry bag for boat days and a power bank

Honeymoons, Families and Extra Nights

Langkawi suits honeymoons because the island is quiet and the sunsets are long. Ask for a sea view room and a candlelit dinner on the sand. Families like the shallow beaches and the cable car. Add two nights for a slower pace.

Muslim travellers find halal food in every town, which makes planning easy. Alcohol is cheaper on Langkawi than in Kuala Lumpur because the island is duty free, but many travellers skip it.

Getting Around on Langkawi Packages from Nairobi

Your tours and airport runs are all included, so you only pay for free time. Langkawi is bigger than it looks, at about 25 kilometres across. The best beaches sit far from the town. Taxis run on fixed price boards at the airport and the jetty. Ride hailing cars exist but can be scarce at night.

Many guests hire a scooter or a car for a day. You need a licence and care on wet roads. In Kuala Lumpur the LRT and monorail are cheap and clean, with fares of about MYR 2 to 6. Our team can add a private driver for a day on request.
