Nairobi, the capital of Kenya, is East Africa's main aviation hub and the starting point for safaris to the Maasai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo. A Plus Travel compares fares from UK airports to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) for holidays, safaris, business trips and family visits.
Direct flights run from London Heathrow and take about 8 hours 30 minutes. One-stop options through Istanbul, Doha, Dubai, Addis Ababa or Amsterdam are often cheaper, especially from Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow. Nairobi is also the connecting point for onward flights to Mombasa, Zanzibar, Kigali, Entebbe and the Kenyan coast, which we can combine into a single booking.
June to October is the main dry season and includes the Great Migration in the Maasai Mara from about July to October. January and February are also dry and warm, while the long rains fall in April and May.
Visitors from the UK need an electronic travel authorisation (eTA) for Kenya, which should be applied for online before you travel. The currency is the Kenyan shilling, and English and Swahili are widely spoken.
