Cheap flights from Nairobi

Nairobi Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) is East Africa's busiest aviation hub and the primary base for Kenya Airways, with connections to European capitals via Amsterdam, London Heathrow, and Paris alongside Middle Eastern hubs operated by Emirates, Qatar, and Ethiopian Airlines. Long-haul fares from Nairobi to Europe follow a clear pattern: the lowest prices typically appear 2-4 months before departure rather than at the last minute, unlike many short-haul European routes. Peak safari season (July-August) commands the highest fares in both directions — February-March and October-November consistently produce better value, coinciding with the shoulder season between Kenya's two rainy periods. Nairobi is the standard departure point for Masai Mara (45-min domestic flight or 5-6h road), Amboseli (1h road), and other Kenyan safari circuits. Wilson Airport nearby handles domestic Kenya routes separately from the international terminal.
