Best Time for a Nairobi National Park Half Day Tour

Nairobi National Park can be visited throughout the year.

The dry seasons, generally June to October and January to February, can be particularly good for wildlife viewing because animals may gather around available water sources.

The rainy seasons can also be rewarding, with greener landscapes and excellent photography opportunities.

For the best experience, we recommend starting early in the morning or visiting later in the afternoon when temperatures are cooler and wildlife may be more active.
