The ideal time to visit Nairobi is from June to October, during their fall season. These months are an excellent time to view wildlife. Nairobi’s year-round temperature is mild due to its elevation. Tourists can certainly enjoy magnificent views of animals throughout the bush. From December to March, average temperatures can range between 77℉ and 82℉ during the day. In addition, Nairobi notes two different rainy seasons. From mid-March to May marks the long rainy season and a shorter rainy season from late October through December.

Nairobi is just as safe as any African capital as long as you use common sense. Nairobi Central and City Square (as far east as Moi Avenue) is busy and safe by day and even more well-lit and policed at night, but it's best not to travel alone, or to take a taxi called by your hotel if unsure. This is an excellent place to hire a local guide to keep you safe and secure, and give you better understanding of any safety risks.
