So it is that time of the year when all those we know and love in the northern hemisphere are wrestling with sub zero temperatures and all the complications to daily life that such weather brings. Happily for us it is a season that traditionally gives us quite the opposite, clear skies, warm days and not a sniff of weather related transport issues. This is the season for long lazy lunches while the game comes to you.
Not so in 2010 because just as Gerard, Rainee and family checked out for a few days break on the coast, the heavens in the Mara well and truly opened. They have pretty much stayed that way ever since. The immediate effect is quite wonderful, the smell and almost immediate emergence of green shoots make it a wonderful thing to be part of. However a few days on, for those running the operation, things will become a little more testing. The rain makes the rivers swell and the mud ever more plentiful and sticky. The game seeks drier ground and normal service becomes increasingly hard to deliver. I am happy to say (from my much drier office many miles away) that so far all is well. The team report that animal sightings are still good, if a little soggy, and supplies and most importantly the guests are still getting in and out. It is of comfort that rain in the Mara is nearly always a good thing (in the end) and even better is that any day now we can expect Gerard back, with a sun tan, ready to help tidy up. Have a good and hopefully dry one won’t you, Gordie |
