    There is NCL to STN on easyJet, but NCL to LGW was done by BA and Jet2 but i think they have stopped, check https://www.flybe.com

    Stansted to Gatwick isn't that easy

    1 Train from Stansted to London Liverpool st, then bus to London Bridge station and then train to Gatwick, or

    2 Train from Stansted to Tottenham hale then underground to London Victoria then train to gatwick

    I think you are best off getting a train - you need to get the train to Kings Cross then walk (2 mins walk) to st pancras station and get the FIRST CAPITAL CONNECT train straight into gatwick. The whole jurney will take only 4 hours. It should only cost about £40-£50 aswell

    Fly BE have 1 (weekend) - 3 (weekday) flights from Newcastle to Gatwick.

    Do note you are responsible should your flight be delayed, and you miss your onward flight to Kenya. Leave plenty of time.

    That is a good alternative to flying to Gatwick.

    Flybe have flights which will get you down in plenty of time, however going home again, their latest flight leaves LGW at 1905. You might have to stop overnight in a Gatwick hotel?

    Alternatively see here for airport transfers
