Don't worry. During your early morning game drive you'll be glad to wear
more than just a long sleeved T-shirt. What would you recommend? What sort of temperatures can I expect in late-Jan, early-Feb? Bobby |

What sort of temperatures can I expect in late-Jan, early-Feb? Bobby It`s still the hot season so on the coast thirty degrees plus, Nairobi and up country upper twenties. If you go to Lake Turkana it will be up to thirty eight degrees. We were on the lower Tana river for three years where it was forty two and more, in the shade! I got fed up with spraying the "Off" every night but when I did get bitten I sometimes had a bad reaction to some insects, so I did spray. Pat -- Pat Anderson |

I was referring to the early morning, when it can be really cold. It's not uncommon to be as low as fifteen degrees Celcius or less in the early morning, especially in the higher areas such as Masai Mara. The wind can also be quite strong. Bring T-shirts AND a sweater. -- Johan W. Elzenga johanatjohanfoto.nl Editor / Photographer http://www.johanfoto.nl/ |

The Coast at that time is still hot, plus Samburu, Tsavo, Amboseli will be hot during those months by ten AM. It`s worth knowing! A sweater in a bag is always useful. Pat -- Pat Anderson |

Sometimes I have to wipe the dew from the jeep windows in the morning and use the windshield wipers to see something. I usually close the windows and put the heating to max when I drive off just before sunrise. I still wear a very warm jacket. At around 8 am it usually gets warmer, so I can take the jacket off.
