Best Time to Visit Nairobi Kenya!

As tour guides of Zunguka Safaris, we can comfortably assert that the fact the Best Time to Visit Nairobi Kenya is during the dry and hot seasons. Below is a detailed analysis of when the Best time to go to Nairobi is, month by month!

June through October

June through October is the best season for tourists to visit not only Nairobi but also in Kenya. During the months of June, July, August, September, and October tourists get the chance to view more animals at the Nairobi National Park.

Animals normally converge near and around water points. This makes it easy to spot them unlike during the wet seasons where the animals are scattered everywhere due to plenty of vegetation.

June through October is also the best time for Nairobi Tours because the evenings and nights are often cool and calm. Such weather conditions are perfect for outdoor dining and enjoying some drinks in rooftop lounges. Fun, right?

Thirdly, June through October has been recorded to be one of the Best Time to Visit Nairobi because tourists get a chance to experience Nairobi City’s vibrant social and nightlife. In between these months, Nairobi always comes alive with outdoor festivals and concerts. There is no better time to make friends and learn about the Kenyan lifestyle and culture than this season!

Another reason to visit Nairobi and engage in Nairobi excurisons is because the skies are often blue and clearer. Tourists can be able to enjoy stunning views of Nairobi City’s skyline right from the rooftop of KICC or at the peak of the Ngong Hills. On a good day, you can also see Mount Kenya and even Mount Kilimanjaro

On to the next factor, June through October is perfect for Nairobi Day Tours because the dry and hot weather allows tourists to engage in outdoor activities without bad weather interruptions such as sudden rain showers. Some of the best activities to do during this time include;

• • Hiking

• • Horseback Riding

• • Going for Beach Vacations

• • Scuba Diving

• • Rock Climbing

• • Recreational Fishing

• • Camping

• • Golfing

• • Birdwatching

• • Ziplining

Lastly, June through October is also the best time to visit Nairobi because more light from the clear skies enables tourists to take high quality pictures. Wildlife and landmarks come out more vibrant and sharp.

Point to Note: Janurary & February are also good for Nairobi Excursions because the roads and safari tracks are dry and very easy to navigate as compared to rainy months.

There are also plenty of sunny days and very few people engage in travelling activities. There are very few people in the parks, hotels and popular tourism spots. Most Kenyans are busy sending back their children to school or trying to save up again after spending a lot of money during the December festive season.
