Business class travelers also connect through Amsterdam on KLM, London on British Airways, Istanbul on Turkish Airlines, or the Gulf on Qatar Airways, Emirates or Etihad. Nairobi is the gateway to safaris in the Masai Mara and to flights across East Africa, so many trips continue beyond the city. ### Booking tips - The Kenya Airways nonstop is the fastest way; a connection through Europe or the Gulf can suit travelers who want two shorter flights. - July to October is the main safari season, with the Great Migration in the Masai Mara; book those months early. - Book onward flights to Mombasa, Kilimanjaro or Zanzibar on the same ticket when you can. - US citizens need an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) for Kenya before departure. ### What moves the fare - Safari season (June to October) and the December holidays are the busiest. Shoulder months can bring better fares. - Three to four months ahead is a safe window. Many itineraries connect in Europe or the Gulf, which widens the choice of lie-flat seats. - On a trip of more than 7,000 miles, the connection city changes both the fare and the total travel time, so your agent compares several connections. ### **Not booking yet?** Get fare news for New York to Nairobi.

He assured me that Turkish air was great, which they were. He planned our change of planes in Houston, and it was one of the smoothest transitions I have ever had. There was no long lay over. I will definitely be giving him a call the nest time we travel .
