Nairobi Travel Forum

Hi - which is the better time to travel to Nairobi between September and October? September seems to be less rainy but will we find sunny skies in mid-late September? Want blue skies! Thanks.

We went in October, early October and it was beautiful!
Only place we had some light rain was in Nakuru National Park (which I understand is normal).
Mara was gorgeous, as was Amboseli

Thanks. I think that's when we'll go. What were the temps for morning drives?

They were warm, not cold so, driving with the vehicle roof popped up was nice.
In fact, we didn't experience any true unbearable heat during any of our drives.
In Amboseli, the women were able to use light blouses and us men T-shirts.
During the evenings, it cooled down quite a bit, but, nothing that required heavier coats.
I did have to wear a long sleeved shirt one morning and evening in Mt. Kenya.

Great, thanks. My husband doesn't tolerate the cold and I don't tolerate the heat, so it's always a challenge packing!

Have a check of our Kenya pages:

This will give you some tips and information. If you so feel inclined, please rate them.
Another good source of Kenya information is my VT friend Krummel. She's been traveling this area for much long than I. Birgit is always willing to answer questions and was a source of information for when we traveled there.

Thanks, I'll check them out.
