Changamwe to Miritini

There are at least 3 routes you can use to travel from Changamwe to Miritini.
One is where, from Changamwe round about, you turn left (and follow the Nairobi Road Straight) to Bahati, then Bangladesh, then Mikindani/Kibaoni, then Kwa Jomvu interchange -- just keep on going straight -- then Kenya Vox and finally Miritini.
Another approach is where, from Changamwe Shell petrol station, you go straight (without turning) to Magongo Mainland, then to Wayani, then to Kona Reli, then to the Majani Depot all the way to finally land at Miritini (the old Railway Station side, though the road goes all the way to SGR Mombasa terminus).
Yet another approach is where, from Changamwe Shell Petrol station, you turn left (taking the new SGR road/southern bypass), turn left  at the next interchange (the Migadini/Airport Interchange), follow the Southern Bypass all the way to where it connects with the Nairobi Highway at Bonje, then turn back for a kilometer or two to get to Miritini...
Much of course depends on which specific area within Miritini you are going to. Are you going to the Mombasa SGR station? Then the SGR road/Southern Bypass would be ideal for you. Are you going to Miritini Estate? Then the Bangala, Mikindani, Jomvu route would be ideal for you.
There are matatus, at Magongo Mainland and at Nuru area (jsut below Changamwe cooperative Bank and Changamwe KCB) where you can find matatus plying the Changamwe to Miritini route. There is also the option of going to the Changamwe round-about (which is currently being replaced with a Changamwe flyover) and from there, picking one of the matatus that serve the Miritini Estate route.
Fare from Changamwe to Miritini can fall to as low as 30 shillings during the off-peak hours and as high as 50 shillings during the peak/rush hours.
Transport between Changamwe and Miritini is available on 24-hour basis, though it does tend to start faltering at around 1 Am when a good number of the matatus close for the night. Between 2 am and 4 am, you may find yourself having to take a boda boda or a tuk tuk, if you must travel between Changamwe and Miritini then.
