You choose Kenia as destination, then you choose Mobile Money as way to delivery, that is Mpesa.
Then you add reveiver name and number, Mpesa account is same as phone number.
Then it asks your credit card number etc. Normal electric payment procedure.
You don't need to have Safaricom sim card or anything in Kenya. I have delivered money several times to Kenya this way.
I have seen with Western Union that they have also some "Mobile Wallet" as one way to deliver, when you choose Kenya as destination. But I have never tried that, probably work same way.

When arriving 03:00 in Nairobi, plenty of time. I enjoy sightseeing from train.

Posts: 197Mpesa can be obtained at the airport but for the reason below I advise you not to take the train at all and at 8 am when you are looking there is no departure, only at 3 pm.

Or I don't see how. Mpesa is a Safari com service, they request a safaricom sim to work, so you need to be in Kenya to use mpesa.
Not possible to buy madakara train tickets from outside country or via travel agencies maybe.

Posts: 197By the way it is not a good idea to arrive by plan at Jomo Kenyatta airport and then continue by train to Mombasa a few hours later. I'd go by Jumbojet and avoid all the checking in again which at the train station resembles an airport with the obbligation to be there 2 hours before departure and security checks.

Posts: 197With Safaricom Madarakatrain booking can be done by *639# and Payment with MPESA. Bolt has often an edge over Uber in Kenya. Other taxis are lore expensive. Matatu is cheaper. By food is cheapest.

If you get a ticket on the day it is likely first class will be sold out but economy should be available. Queues should not be okay.

The best is to buy a local sim card just outside the airport and then open a mpesa account, the you can book online. But if you want to go from airport to train it will be too short to create the mpesa.
Otherwise you need to buy the ticket at the train station, I didn't saw any queue there, most people use mpesa, but could depends on the hour when you arrive.
Train station is quite close to airport so the best is to stick to a regular taxi I guess. After you can use bolt or Uber.
Don't confuse the old train station inside Nairobi, the train for Mombasa is in the new one on the airport side.
