The rainy season scares people away from the Mara. That is exactly why it is a good time to go.

## Getting there

Small planes fly from Nairobi to airstrips inside the reserve.

## Where to stay

A small camp on the edge of the reserve, with guides from the area.

## What I would do differently

I would bring a light rain jacket. Showers are short and come in the afternoon.

🧭

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
