Aero Club of East Africa

Aero Club of East Africa - Nairobi accommodation

The dozen rooms at the old Aero Club of East Africa, at Nairobi’s domestic Wilson Airport are available for non-members and make a very convenient base if you’re flying out of Wilson the next morning – or if you've just arrived at Wilson and won't be leaving Nairobi until the next day. The convivial bar is a real bonus.

With connections between Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport sometimes taking an hour or more, depending on traffic, the option of taking a room for the night at Wilson (an option that isn’t available at the international airport) has some appeal. If you're a flying enthusiast, then you'll probably enjoy every minute of it: during the day you can watch small planes through the fence, taking off and landing to your heart's content.

The club gates are on the main Wilson Airport road that runs inside the permiter fence. Once through a basic security check your vehicle will park in the shady car park just in front of the old main building. A simple reception desk, sofa and notice boards comprise the reception area, with toilets to one side, the members’ bar to the left and the main lounge and restaurant straight ahead. To one side of the cosy club restaurant (“The Creative Kitchen"), there’s a pleasant terrace with further dining tables and chairs, and then the lawned rear gardens with further seating and tables under the trees and a 10-metre, rectangular, unheated swimming pool.

The interior of the club is replete with African aeronautical ephemera, photos, trophies, a large display cabinet and some quite large pieces of aircraft hardware.

Safari Destinations

Zanzibar Beach

Just like Tanzania, Zanzibar is three hours in the advance of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT+3). It doesn't operate daylight saving time, and consequently there's no time difference between Zanzibar's summer and winter months.

Discover Uganda

Uganda is a truly “authentic” safari destination - definitely less sophisticated than Tanzania or Kenya in terms of infrastructure and not in the same “big game” league, but equally untouched and as genuine as Africa gets.
Uganda’s gorillas, chimps, birds and the wider range of special-interest attractions (from butterflies to orchids) makes it a perfect match for first timers and seasoned African visitors alike.

Visit Tanzania

Tanzania home to Africa's most dramatic and famous features.  Fantastic wildlife, stunning scenery and idyllic beaches Tanzania is virtually unrivalled in terms of wildlife population and diversity. From the biggest African plains, the Serengeti, to the highest African mountain, Mt Kilimanjaro, to the deepest African Lake Tanganyika.
Pemba offers classic tropical beaches to those wanting to get away from the crowds, whilst the Selous Game Reserve never disappoints those looking for lion and elephant!
