Our weather
and what to pack
Seasons in the Mara Engai. East Africa is equatorial, so the climate is fairly constant and it is a year-round destination. Kenya has a light rain season from November to March. This period is known as the ‘short rains’, often no more than a quick downpour each day, followed by clear sunshine. From December to March the weather becomes increasingly warmer with the ‘long rains’ occurring between April and May.
To ensure your comfort you may want to tailor your clothing choices to the time of year:
October – April:
Casual summer clothing (shorts and lightweight shirts) with a warm jersey or sweater for the cooler morning and evening temperatures.
May – September:
Casual lightweight clothing with a very warm parka or windbreaker jacket for the very cold mornings and nights.
What to pack
*Our airline partners require that you travel with soft-sided luggage (max 15kg/33lb per person).
To ensure a comfortable safari experience, we recommend that you bring the following:
- Cotton clothing in neutral colours is recommended for all game drives and bush walks. It is best to avoid white clothing and dark colours for bush activities, as they tend to attract certain bugs. Formal wear is not required at any of our lodges.
- Comfortable walking or track shoes, or hiking boots for walks as well as sandals to wear around the lodge.
- Activewear if you plan on using the facilities at the fitness centre or your private in-room fitness area.
- A swimming costume or bathing suit, sun block, sun hat, sunglasses, lip balm, mosquito repellent.
- Video camera, camera, binoculars and extra memory cards.
- Our lodge is located in remote areas and therefore guests should remember to bring an extra pair of correction glasses (if required), contact lens solution and an extra set of contact lenses (if required) as well as a sufficient supply of any prescription medication.
