    I’m soooo happy to see that it’s raining! We were there in August 2022, and it was so dry. The only water was from the runoff from Kilimanjaro. Wildebeest, Zebra and other animals were dying from a lack of grazing food, and water. The elephants were destroying all the acacia forests, for food. The one big surprise was the bird life. It was magnificent! We stayed at the Elewana Tortelis camp. It was truly magical. We’re planning a return in 2025. Love your vids!

      Yes! I was there in 2023 and it was so dry and dead animals were everywhere. My friends tell me they are now receiving some rains.

    Greetings from Canada. Watching this episode in the rain took me back to my childhood days growing up in Kabete, just outside Nairobi and the many safari's to Amboseli and Tsavo with my parents and brother. The smell of the grass, soil, air. Everything is exquisite in the rain in my beautiful Kenya. Always in my heart! Thank you!

    We were in south africa in sept/oct and it was 98 degrees when we got there. Rained over night and dropped to 45 degrees and rain for the next 4 days. Our truck had no top and it was pouring but we had a great time and still saw many animals! The camp we stayed at was absolutely amazing (one of our favorites of the 11 african countries we have been to). We are heading to kenya in august (fingers crossed). Have you been to ole pejeeta/laikipia area?

    I just saw your video about Safaris in the rainy season. It caught my eye because I stayed at the Old Tukai Lodge and I was there around June 5&6 2015. There couldn’t have been more than 15 people total at that time so I got to know the staff very well. It was nice to not to have to fight any crowds. I enjoy your videos and continued good luck to both of you.

Stanley and Sue ( the camp hippos) munching grass about 2 m from my tent. And then there was the large, angry and aggressive Brown (Ashes I think) Spitting Cobra in our mess tent. Always something!

    Ok, so you went in January. We were just outside Amboseli in February of 2023, in Chyulu hills area, and it was DRY!!!!!!! We booked our next Safari in November of 2025, the beginning of the " short rains" and hoping the rain won't be too terrible, but as you mentioned in the video, we saved almost $1,000 / night, and got a stay 4 pay for 3 nights deal, which is allowing us to stay 12 nights at 2 properties in Mara conservansies , and 3 nights in Lewa ( per your video of Lewa Safari camp)
    If you have any videos of Safari in November, please let me know, I'll watch it immediately. It's nice to see green in Amboseli, they sure needed it 😊🌍🐘
