Any time after 10am, from recent experience - although no guarantees!

Any time after 0600hrs is usually pretty naused-up. Yesterday traffic was solid from the roundabout at the bottom of of Langata Rd all the way to Karen by 1600hrs. 3 hours from WIL to Karen - the fun never ends!

Maybe the traffic cams would give you an idea?

We left JKIA at 7.30am and got to Wilson at 8am. It then took me an hour to get to Hilton from Wilson.

Thanks.

Just got back from Nairobi this week. Our hotel was located off Langata Rd beyond Wilson. We left our hotel at around 6:45 AM and the traffic in the opposite direction (toward Wilson) was still jammed and crawling around 7:30 AM.
