The Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) passenger service, the Madaraka Express, is very popular and serves as a major travel option between Nairobi and Mombasa.
Monthly ridership typically spikes during peak holiday and school-calendar seasons like December, January, and April.
While the Madaraka Express is a safe and reliable mode of transport, it is important to be cautious to prevent opportunistic theft that may be triggered by unattended valuables, passenger fatigue and crowded boarding or exit points.
