Nairobi Hotel — Dry Season Visits
Kenya's two dry seasons, June to October and January to February, are broadly considered the best periods for wildlife viewing. During the dry season, vegetation is low, wildlife concentrates around permanent water sources, and road conditions in the parks are at their best. Karen Plains Hotel is the ideal Nairobi dry season base.
