Best Time to Visit

The dry season, from June to October, is generally the best time to visit Nairobi National Park for wildlife viewing. During this period, vegetation is less dense, and animals tend to congregate around water sources, providing excellent game-viewing opportunities. However, the park's beauty is also evident during the short rains from November to December when the landscape becomes lush and green.
