Top Active Leisure & Sport Spots in Nairobi

My advice is to wear old clothes! Paint can get messy and I didn’t think I’d be leaving with paint splats everywhere. Trust me it’s better to not worry about ruining your favorite shirt.

If you're heading there on a holiday, try arriving by 11 AM. We noticed the crowds really piled up after noon. It’s way more fun when it’s not too packed!

I think packing some snacks and water is a good idea. The onsite snack options were okay, but having my own munchies made the wait times way more enjoyable!

I recommend bringing a reusable water bottle. They allow you to refill it at the venue, which saves cash and keeps you hydrated without buying overpriced drinks.

Get familiar with the layout of the ground. Some entrances are less crowded than others depending on where your ticket is, and knowing this can save you a lot of time.

If you're planning to drive, arrive by 4 PM to avoid the Nairobi traffic — it gets hectic, especially on match days. Trust me, it’s worth it to get there early.

I suggest checking the match schedule in advance; some games can get crowded, while others might be more relaxed. You'll want to see your favorite teams play without the stress of large crowds.

My advice is to arrive by around 3 PM for evening games to avoid the traffic chaos. Trust me, Nairobi traffic can be a real pain!

Check out the local nearby shops for fan gear before the game. I found some cool stuff way cheaper than what was being sold at the venue!
