High Season

Nairobi's high season, typically from July to October, brings cooler, dry weather, with daytime temperatures averaging around 23°C. The city feels refreshed, and clear skies offer crisp views upon arrival. This period aligns with the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara, making Nairobi a bustling gateway, with a palpable sense of anticipation among visitors. The dry conditions also make outdoor activities in Nairobi National Park particularly rewarding for wildlife spotting.

The city hums with increased activity, and its many markets and eateries buzz with both locals and international visitors. Social life extends outdoors as cafes and restaurants offer al fresco dining. Cultural events, such as art exhibitions and music festivals, often take advantage of the pleasant weather, adding to Nairobi's vibrant atmosphere. The cooler evenings provide a welcome respite, making walks and exploring the city's districts comfortable.

Low Season

The low season, primarily spanning March to May, sees Nairobi experience its long rainy season, with temperatures around 26°C. The city takes on a greener, more lush appearance, and the air feels clean and earthy. Upon landing, visitors might encounter sudden downpours, which often clear to reveal bright, fresh landscapes. While some unpaved roads can become muddy, the core city infrastructure handles the rain well.

Life adopts a slightly slower pace during the rains. Locals often favour indoor gatherings, though the city's renowned nightlife and culinary scene remain vibrant. Despite the rain, outdoor experiences are still possible, particularly in the mornings or late afternoons, and the Nairobi National Park is transformed into a verdant paradise. This season offers a more relaxed, authentic encounter with Nairobi, as the city reveals a different, quieter aspect of its identity.
