    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.

    Amboseli dust — Amboseli, Kenya

    Day 2. Amboseli dust, then the mountain

    Day2
    ✦ Memoir

    The first leg is south to Amboseli. The park is all dust and elephant until the late afternoon, when Kilimanjaro finally cleared and a line of giraffe walked across in front of it like a postcard.

    Amboseli01
    Naivasha boat among — Lake Naivasha, Kenya

    Day 4. Naivasha boat among the hippos

    Day4
    ✦ Memoir

    Naivasha is fresh water, so it is green where the others are bare. We took an evening boat and the guide held us off the hippo pods at a respectful distance while fish eagles worked the shallows.

    Lake Naivasha02
    Nakuru — Lake Nakuru, Kenya

    Day 5. Nakuru, pink shore and rhino

    Day5
    ✦ Memoir

    A short hop from Naivasha to Nakuru, but a different world. The water alkaline, the shore edged with flamingo, and a white rhino grazing close enough that we cut the engine and just watched.

    Lake Nakuru03
    Full Mara — Masai Mara, Kenya

    Day 7. Full Mara day to end on

    Day7
    ✦ Memoir

    The Mara was the finale and it delivered. A full day, a cheetah hunt that failed, a river crossing that did not happen twice before it finally did, and an evening sky that went on burning long after the drive ended.
