NOTICE! If you are reading this around the time of posting, you are most likely attempting to grapple with the onslaught that coronavirus has brought upon the world. You might be thinking to yourself, “why would I look into travel right now? That seems completely contradictory to every professional advice I have read! Shouldn’t we shelter in place?” I must address this now: DO NOT TRAVEL!! At least until the viral spread has substantially subsided. But that doesn’t mean you cannot go travel in the future!! For today’s deal, you must understand that the flight can be made for anytime between August 2020 and March 2021! This trip will be a post-pandemic one, which could be much needed. Right now, many flight routes are much cheaper than they would be on a normal day, even for routes that will occur much outside of the window of time that covid-19 will like take up.
Let’s look into today’s deal a little bit closer. You are able to get this deal on flights leaving almost any airport in the U.S., and you will be arriving at the lovely Nairobi airport (NBO). You must be booking your flight for sometime between August 2020 and March 2021, and make sure your airline is either Delta or United. These flights will cost you somewhere in the low $500s, compared to the regular $1200+ it would cost for a normal round trip flight otherwise. This is an amazing deal for sure!

As is tradition with Cheap Flights and Cheap Sights, we will begin by looking at the climate of our destination. As you will see, Nairobi, Kenya is a warm climate year round, never dipping below 60 degrees and usually with a high in the high 70s to low 80s. You will need to make sure to bring summer clothes no matter what time you travel, and don’t worry about needing heavy clothing. Unless you are going in November or April, you need not worry much about rain. It would be good to at least bring some form of rain protection, but it will likely not be needed. Better safe than sorry!
In terms of where to stay, I always suggest AirBnb as the booking site for finding a nice, cheap stay. On AirBnb I found an entire cottage for rent located inside of a giraffe sanctuary! The cottage is a one bedroom one bathroom stay with a nice view of the sanctuary. One neat feature of this stay is that there is an outdoor wood fired tub included with your booking! Perfect for outdoor relaxation in the afternoon. This stay includes the whole cottage, wifi, free parking, and even included breakfast! What a nice touch!
This stay is located south of central Nairobi, which means most of your activites will revolve around exploring the area around you! There are breathtaking hikes to rivers, through forests, and to the peak, and of course with all the animals around! The owner suggests you try to see how many species of bird you can spot – the record in one stroll is 60! Watch out for smaller animals such as dikdik and squirrel!
That’s all folks! Tune in next time for another cheap flight and cheap sight.
