Which type of travel bag do you need?
Duffel bags: light, flexible and affordable
A duffel bag is a soft bag with one large main compartment and carry handles plus a shoulder strap. It squeezes into matatu and bus luggage racks, car boots and overhead lockers, and it weighs far less than a suitcase. Choose a duffel for short trips of one to four days.
Weekend and overnight bags: organised short trips
Weekend bags are medium-sized duffels with extra pockets, and often a separate shoe compartment, so clean and dirty clothes stay apart. They are the most popular ladies’ travel bag for two- or three-day trips.
Trolley duffel bags: wheels for heavy loads
A trolley duffel combines the soft body of a duffel with wheels and a pull-up handle. You get suitcase-style rolling without the hard shell, which makes it a favourite for long bus journeys and upcountry trips where you have to carry more.
Foldable travel totes: the bag you pack inside your bag
Foldable rolling totes collapse flat. Pack one inside your main luggage and open it on the way home for shopping and gifts.

Travel bag or suitcase?
Choose a travel bag for road trips, short stays and when you need to squeeze your luggage into small spaces. Choose a suitcase for flights, long trips and fragile items. If you are flying, read our Kenya Airways baggage allowance guide and compare suitcase prices in Kenya.
How to choose a durable travel bag
- Check the zips. Thick, smooth zips last longest on a bag that gets stuffed full.
- Look at the base. A firm or reinforced bottom stops the bag from sagging and protects it on rough ground.
- Test the strap. A padded, adjustable shoulder strap with metal clips is more comfortable and stronger.
- Choose water-resistant fabric for bus and boda boda journeys in the rain.
- Count the pockets. Outside pockets for your ID, phone and charger save you from opening the main compartment.
