Alright, listen up if you're hitting the road for the holidays. The Interior Ministry says the main highways out of Nairobi are about to become parking lots. Traffic is going to suck, especially heading toward Central, Western, and Nyanza areas. Their advice is the usual: plan, be ready to change your timing, and maybe take a different road.
They named some specific detours. Instead of grinding up the Mai Mahiu escarpment toward the west, try going through Suswa and Narok. If you're heading to the Central region, consider the route via Nyeri and Nyahururu to get to Nakuru. It's supposedly more efficient and secure.
They also dropped the standard seasonal security reminder. The country is generally stable, but holidays always bring more dumb incidents and traffic chaos. Expect some opportunistic crime and dumb drivers. Basically, stay alert, don't do anything stupid, and listen to the cops if you want to make it to your destination in one piece.
