I won`t be rude and say perhaps you should have planned it sooner!
However, it seems to me you have no alternative but to get your visa in
Nairobi, it can be done but make sure you have the correct fee ready as
you won`t get change. We had to do the same in Zanzibar once and it was
OK.

Liz,
the postal strikes are over but there can be a delay from the Kenya
High Commission, if you read from the Commission site it states it
takes about a week from receipt of application. Safer to pay $50 dollars
on landing in Nairobi.
