Mosquitoes Part 2

I promised to get in touch with the lodge manager in the Mara regarding the mosquitoes and the necessity of mozzie nets and he has some good news!

Does camp can provide mosquito nets?
Yes the camp will provide mosquito nets.

If we bring our own, is there a way of fastening them to the ceiling?
The lodge will also have them fixed for you.

How well sealed are the tents?
The tents are well sealed. We also spray all the occupied guest tents every evening while the guests are out for dinner with an environmentally friendly insecticide and we further provide in each occupied guest tent an environmentally friendly odorless burning insect repellent to ward off any insects which may enter the tent. We do also stock for sale to guests insect repellent body lotions in the Camp shop.

The Maasai Mara has not been known to have mosquitoes besides this one time when it happened this year. We hope there will be no mosquitoes, but have taken necessary measure incase of such event.

Nairobi is not malarial, is it?
No its not. We do provide mosquito nets though in all the rooms.

So you won't need mosquito nets just for the Mara but if you are going elsewhere afterwards, you may still want to buy one. I would still urge you to go out and get good insect repellant though, particularly on the coast!!
