July was for the most part dry, with a few local storms in the first half of the month and some reasonable rain on the 31st.

The first part of June was very cold, wet and overcast – with some of the heaviest and most sustained rain this year.

The rains continued to be well below average for this time of year, fortunately the Triangle is much better off than most areas but some of our dams and water courses have not been replenished. 

There were a few days of rain around the end of the first week, it was sufficient to increase the flow in the Mara River slightly, before dropping to even lower levels. 

We had a few days of rain from the 2nd, it was then dry for most of March, with two days of rain at the very end. We managed to partly burn one block along the escarpment just before the rain at the end of the month.

By the middle of the month the Mara River was lower than it has ever been – each year for the past several years we have said the same.

We had heavy and widespread rain for over a week around the middle of the month, this sent all the zebra North and there were large crossings for several days.  

There were isolated showers until the 9th, when there was heavy and widespread rain.  

November has been remarkably dry, certainly the driest for several years.  

There were a few days of reasonable, but isolated, rain from the 9th, mainly along the escarpment.  

The rain continued for the first three days and then stopped for the remainder of the month, making September one of the driest months in a long time.

The first three weeks of August were predominantly dry but wildebeest numbers remained very low for this time of year. 

July was, for the most part, dry, warm and windy.  There was a change in the weather on the 27th, when it rained for most of the night. 

The rains eased off at the beginning of June, allowing us to work on the roads and repair much of the damage done by the exceptional long rains. 

The rains continued to pound the Triangle for the first three weeks of May, causing considerable damage, washing the murram off some of our roads, creating ruts and potholes on all our roads. 

The rains continued throughout April and the river rose to the highest levels since December 2006. 

Very heavy rain on the 3rd, causing extensive flooding – at least one camp on Mara North was severely damaged, with tents and vehicles washed away. 

Two weeks of heavy rain in the middle of the month has greened up the whole Reserve. 

The a few remnants of the wildebeest migration have left the Tanzanian border and moved up towards Serena.  One crossing near the Mara bridge resulted in at least 300 wildebeest deaths. 

A number of rain storms throughout September appear to have further disrupted the migration, there were large concentrations of wildebeest along the Tanzanian border, but the never moved North of Ol Are (the salt springs).
