Late arrivals at MBA need a plan made before you fly, because the operator publishes no information on night services.
What the airport publishes
The Kenya Airports Authority page describes licensed and insured taxi and transfer companies that wait at designated stands, and states that ride-hailing apps serve the main airports. It gives no operating hours and no night frequency for either, and it carries no bus information. The airport is at Port Reitz, Changamwe, about 10 km from Mombasa city centre, according to the operator.

What is not published
Night service: not published, and we do not assume it. We found no official statement on how many taxis wait at night or on whether the desks in the arrivals halls stay staffed. Do not count on a taxi after a late landing without arranging it in advance.
Staying safe on arrival
The operator's guidance applies at any hour. Use an official taxi or a pre-booked transfer. Decline offers from people who approach you inside the terminal, because soliciting customers there is illegal and such drivers are generally unlicensed and uninsured. Agree the fare per vehicle before you set off, and ask for a receipt.
Pre-booked transfers
A pre-booked transfer is arranged before you fly. Give your flight number and address at booking. The operator says that the driver of a pre-arranged transfer waits outside the arrivals hall, not inside it, so follow your booking confirmation. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated there. Use the quote tool on this page for your destination.
The bottom line
At night, choose the arrangement you confirmed in advance over one you hope will be available.
