Frequently asked questions
What is the best time to visit Nairobi?
The best time is during the dry seasons from June to October and December to March, offering pleasant weather for safaris and sightseeing.
Is Nairobi safe for tourists?
Yes, but like any major city, exercise caution, avoid walking alone at night, and use reputable transportation or guided tours for popular attractions.
What are the must-see attractions in Nairobi?
Top experiences include Nairobi National Park, the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Giraffe Centre, Karen Blixen Museum, and the Nairobi National Museum.
How do I get around Nairobi?
Use ride-hailing apps like Uber or Bolt, or book guided tours; the matatu (minibus) system is chaotic for first-time visitors.

The Kenyan Shilling (KES); tipping 10-15% is appreciated at restaurants, and small tips for guides and drivers are customary.
