Why July 2026 Is Special
July 2026 is shaping up to be an extraordinary month in Nairobi. The FIFA World Cup knockout rounds are being played — round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals all fall in July. The wildebeest migration river crossings are at their most dramatic in the Masai Mara. Game viewing at Nairobi National Park is excellent throughout the month. And the dry season means clear skies and good conditions for wildlife photography.
