africa
Kenya’s capital Nairobi is a thriving, modern city which serves as a fascinating introduction to both East Africa’s wildlife and urban life.

In the centre there is no shortage of restaurants, shopping and entertainment while on the edges of the city a number of attractions offer the chance to experience your first sightings of wildlife, including the wonderful Giraffe Centre and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust Elephant Orphanage. Nairobi is also home to the famous Giraffe Manor hotel.

Trailfinders offers a range of Nairobi holidays and we have a dedicated team of destination specialists who are a mine of information, often with first-hand travel experience. Whether you want to visit Nairobi before a fly in safari or small group safari or want to travel through overland on a small group adventure tour – they are the perfect people to ask.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO VISIT NAIROBI?

The best time to visit Nairobi is during the drier months.

The long dry season from June to October is considered the best time for safaris with fantastic game viewing, cooler temperatures and clear skies, but also more visitors. January to March is also a good time to visit for Kenya safaris, mostly dry and when many young animals are born.
