    Things to Look Out For

    field notes
    1

    Wildebeest crossing season

    Late July through September is when the herds cross the Mara River. Most tours skip the prime crossing windows by camping too far upstream. Tibro's Mara nights are timed for it. If you can travel in August, do.

    2

    Altitude on Day One

    Nairobi sits at 1,795 metres. Coming from Mumbai or Delhi, expect a slightly thin head for 24 hours and drink more water than feels normal. Skip the Tusker your first night; pick it up at the Mara.

    3

    Fly the Mara transfer

    The Nairobi-to-Mara road is five hours of corrugated dirt. The light aircraft from Wilson Airport does it in fifty minutes for around USD 250 each way. Worth every shilling unless you specifically want to see rural Kenya pass the window.

    Plan Your Timing

    When to Go

    Kenya runs on two dry seasons and two rain seasons. June to October is the long dry. Golden grass, wildebeest crossings, the iconic safari window. January to February is a quieter shoulder with clear skies and far fewer vehicles. The long rains (March-May) are when most camps close.

    Your Memoir

    Here's how you'll remember it.

    Sarova lobby — Nairobi, Kenya

    Day 1. Sarova lobby, scotch on arrival

    Day1
    ✦ Memoir

    I checked in at 9pm and the bellhop already knew I'd ordered a single malt. Small thing, but it set the tone.

    Nairobi01
    Mara — Masai Mara, Kenya

    Day 3. First Mara evening, four hyenas

    Day3
    ✦ Memoir

    They were laughing at something we couldn't see. The driver shrugged: "they laugh at us, sometimes." We sat with them until the light gave out.

    Masai Mara02
    Two leopards — Masai Mara, Kenya

    Day 5. Two leopards on a fallen acacia

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    Mother and cub. The cub kept slipping; she kept catching him. We watched for twenty minutes before either of us remembered we had cameras.

    Masai Mara03
    Naivasha veranda — Lake Naivasha, Kenya

    Day 6. Naivasha veranda, hippos audible

    Day6
    ✦ Memoir

    At Loldia House you eat dinner outside and the hippos are loud enough you have to lean in to hear the wine list. Worth every decibel.
