Special Rates for Children: Making Family Travel Affordable

Traveling with children on Kenya's SGR is remarkably budget-friendly, with all child fares set at exactly half the adult price across both Economy and First Class travel options. Children between the ages of 3 and 11 qualify for these reduced rates, making family excursions more affordable without compromising on comfort or convenience.

For instance, while an adult pays KSh 1,000 for an Economy Class journey between Nairobi and Mombasa, children travel for just KSh 500 on the same route. This consistent 50% discount applies to all intermediate stations as well, from Athi River to Mariakani, providing significant savings for family trips.

Parents traveling with infants under 3 years will be pleased to know that babies can travel free of charge when not occupying a separate seat. Our SGR Fare Calculator automatically computes these child discounts, helping families accurately budget for their railway adventures across Kenya.
