Our tips for Nairobi

  • Carry a scarf: It’ll be a good idea to pack a scarf among your baggage. Not only are they good for staying warm or if you’re visiting a place that needs more modesty. Also, if it does get hot, dip it in water and wrap it around your neck to cool down. Perfect.
  • Look out for the Nairobi Bump: This is when someone bumps into you in the street, accidentally! They will apologise but will have also lifted your wallet or phone. Keep your wits about you.

Good to know

You’re best to visit Nairobi during the dry season, that’s from late June to October. It’s the best time to view the wildlife when you head out to the reserves. And it’s good to know that with Nairobi’s elevation the year-round temperatures mean it’s often quite mild.
