Airlines and stops
Ryanair operates this route with 2 stops. It's not a direct flight, you'll have at least one connection before reaching Nairobi. That extra time is the trade-off for these low fares. Pack light carry-on only if you can: Ryanair charges for checked baggage.
Best time to visit
Nairobi and Kenya welcome visitors year-round. Dry seasons (January–February and August–October) offer clearer skies for safari spotting and less rain. Avoid heavy rainfall periods (March–May and November–December) if wildlife viewing is your priority. Regardless, book ahead for better pricing.
What to do when you arrive
You'll land at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO), about 18 km from Nairobi city centre. From there, reach Masai Mara or Amboseli on safari, visit the National Museum, explore the city, or day-trip to the Great Rift Valley. Masai Mara is unmissable during migration season.
