Nairobi from Lagos
3,832 km, about 5h 35m in the air. Every month scored for the weather at Nairobi and for the holidays that crowd it out at both ends.
Affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you book through one, at no extra cost to you. It changes nothing above — the scores are computed from climate and fare data before any link is built.
Free, on Telegram. One tap — LOS is already chosen. We write
when a fare is genuinely below what that route normally costs, and
/stop ends it.
No fare history on LOS–NBO yet, so this ranking is climate and crowds only. The price column fills in as the scanner collects.

Crowds is a score out of 100 where higher is quieter. It counts public-holiday clusters in NG as well as at Nairobi, which is why this table differs from the same one read from another country. A busy month is a crowded one, not a bad one — usually it is crowded because the weather is good. Crowds alone never make a month “avoid”: that is reserved for weather worth skipping.
Getting there
| Nonstop flight | a few a week · Kenya Airways |
|---|
Flights from AeroDataBox, roads from OpenRouteService, trains and buses from public timetables via Transitous where they exist, ferries from OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL). Times are typical, not a schedule, and none of this is a fare — the searches below are where prices live.
The year in Nairobi
No climate data available for Nairobi, so I cannot provide a detailed season profile.
Written by a language model from the climate figures above. The month-by-month table is measured — ten years of ERA5 readings and published holiday calendars — and where the two disagree, the table is the one to believe.
