WHEN TO GO TO NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK

Best Time & Weather To Travel To Nairobi Park? Scroll Down For Details..

BEST TIME TO VISIT NAIROBI NATIONAL PARK FOR A CENTRAL KENYA SAFARI

Nairobi National Park is situated at an elevation of 5030 feet to 5774 feet, so temperatures tend to be mild year round, making it as perfect day vacation destination in central Kenya no matter when you plan to visit. You may, though, consider your personal comfort level in certain temperatures, as well as the varied wildlife behaviors that are affected by the time of year.

Monthly day temperatures range from 70 F to 82 F (21-28 C) while nighttime temperatures range from 52-55 F (11-13 C). January and February are the warmest months while July and August are the coolest months. The warm, spring-like months are December through March when average day temperatures range from 77-82 F (25-28 C) and the cool-dry months are July through September with average day temperatures ranging from 70-77 F (21-25 C).



Rainfall may affect your safari plans in East Africa, as the precipitation may affect road conditions and available activities. Nairobi National Park experiences two rainy seasons that may affect your AfricanMecca safari game viewing in Kenya's oldest national park. During the rains, the vegetation is denser, and wildlife are dispersed into the interiors rather than congregating at central water points so tracking them takes more time. The long rainy season occurs from the middle of March through May, scattering off in the varied days of June.

April has the highest average rainfall of 8 inches. From late October through December, the short rainy season arrives, and November has the most rainfall during this time, averaging just over 4 inches. In other wet months, the park may average 2 inches of rain. The dry season in Nairobi is from July to October and July has the lowest average rainfall of less than 1 inch.
