We had several days of rain towards the end of the month, with heavy and sustained rain on the 29th and 30th.

We had widespread rain in the first 15 day, this resulted in most of the wildebeest leaving the Triangle – a number crossed into the Main Reserve, the first time in three years and several hundred drowned. 

We had a few days of rain from the beginning of the month, this confused the wildebeest and for a few days we must have had half a million of them in the Triangle.

We had a number of heavy, sustained rainstorms throughout the month, causing some damage to the roads and confusion in the wildebeest herds.

We had a number of rainstorms in the first week of September, sending most of the wildebeest into the Lemai Wedge and northern Serengeti. 

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.

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).

The month was on the whole dry with one or two isolated storms during the month. 

There were scattered storms and showers over most of the Mara for the first three weeks of the month, it then dried out.

Regular showers and the occasional rainstorm characterised the first half of September.  It then dried up for the remainder of the month.

There were some heavy rain storms and scattered showers over the whole Triangle from the 3rd until the end of the month. 

The rains that started in mid-August continued throughout September.  

The dry spell in July and August ended with three weeks of scattered thunderstorms and showers, this rain led to a mass exodus of wildebeest out of the Triangle and into the Narok side of the Mara and by the 20th there was hardly a wildebeest to be seen in the Triangle

We had light rain and scattered thunderstorms everyday for the first half of September.  This rain was sufficiently heavy in the northern Serengeti to send most of the wildebeest back into Tanzania.

We were deeply shocked to hear of the death of Dr Zahoor Kashmiri on the 2nd September.  He was killed by an elephant whilst darting in Ethiopia. 

The month started with several days of rain and overcast days.  There was a heavy thunderstorm on the 8th, which was then followed by two weeks of heavy and widespread rain that first brought in the wildebeest and then sent them South again. 

We had heavy drizzle on the 3rd, it was followed by a few days of dry weather before we had a week of heavy rain and drizzle from the 13th.  The river came up a foot as a result of the rain.

We had over two weeks of rain starting on the 4th.  This rain was sufficient to turn all our burnt areas a brilliant green, filled some of the water courses - and attracted thousands of animals.

August and September have been exceptionally wet in the Triangle.  This seems to have been the case throughout much of western Kenya, certainly West of Mount Kenya and the North Rift. 

We had heavy rain for the first two weeks of September.  Thereafter we had scattered thunderstorms – we understand that this is expected to be an El Ninõ year and that the country will be in for exceptional rains between October and December.
