We had. A very heavy rainstorm between Mugoro and Oloololo Gate on the 6th, this flooded the Olpunyatta Plain and caused sone damage to the bridge at Sankuria.
Rains started in earnest on the 2nd, stopped for a while and then resumed towards month’s end. There was one exceptionally heavy storm near Oloololo on the 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.
Heavy rain at the beginning of the month resulted in the Mara River flooding – a fuel tanker went over the Bridge near Mara Rianta on the 6th – one person was rescued but two people were washed away.
Rain in the first few days hampered road work, we had a few days of sunshine mid-month before the rains returned with a vengeance, with heavy storms around Oloololo and Mara Bridge.
We had some rain in early January, but for the most part the month was hot and dry. We are very fortunate, there is ample grass, there is more than a green tinge and grass is actually growing.
