Thank you — your request for is on its way to operators covering Accra to Nairobi. Expect exact pricing by email, usually within a few hours.
Start with the required Nairobi arrival time
A private charter is most useful when the schedule is built around the passenger’s actual objective. If there is a meeting, hotel check-in or onward safari flight, give the operator the required local arrival time in Nairobi rather than only a preferred departure time in Accra.
Which airports serve Accra to Nairobi?
The normal pair is Kotoka International Airport (ACC) and Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO). Wilson Airport may be relevant after arrival for a separate safari flight, but it should not automatically replace NBO for the international jet sector.
Aircraft choice for a trans-African sector
A midsize or super-midsize jet is usually the practical baseline. A heavy jet may make sense for a larger party, significant baggage or a continuation beyond Nairobi. The operator checks payload, winds, reserves and aircraft position before confirming the nonstop mission.
Account for the three-hour time difference
Accra runs on UTC while Nairobi is UTC+3. A seemingly comfortable morning departure can place the group into Nairobi later in the working day than expected once flight time, immigration and ground transfer are included.
Connecting onward from Nairobi
If the passengers are continuing to Maasai Mara, Amboseli, Laikipia or another safari destination, share the feeder-flight details early. A transfer between Jomo Kenyatta and Wilson Airport can add road time, and small-aircraft baggage limits may differ from the private jet.
Handling, permissions and baggage planning
The operator coordinates international handling, passenger details, customs and immigration, route permissions where required and fuel planning. Oversized bags, samples, presentation equipment or safari luggage should be declared before aircraft selection.
Information to include in the quote request
Send travel date, required Nairobi arrival time, passenger count, nationalities where relevant, baggage details, final Nairobi address or safari connection, return plan and special requirements. Confirm whether positioning, handling, permits, taxes, parking and crew expenses are included.
Accra to Nairobi private jet prices by group size and trip

How much is a private jet from Accra to Nairobi for 8 passengers?
About US$43,200 one-way for the whole aircraft in an Embraer Phenom 300 (6h 41m in the air), or roughly US$5,400 per seat. For two passengers the cheapest option is US$40,800. These are live estimates including positioning, airport and navigation fees.
How much does a return private jet from Accra to Nairobi cost?
For four passengers, a same-day return costs about US$80,900 in a Citation CJ3+, 2.0 times the one-way estimate of US$40,800. Flying back after three nights costs about US$80,900; the engine compares keeping the aircraft and crew with you against two separate rotations and uses the cheaper.
