Just wondering about the departure from Nairobi Hotel to airport, itinerary says flights should be scheduled for departure 7PM or after. Is a flight scheduled at !6:35 too early?

NO, unless they have changed to a later time for the flight from the Mara. Tauck said "should" not "must." In June, 2015 we had plenty of time to have lunch with our fellow travelers, repack, shower, and chill a little at poolside. We flew home to DC on Ethiopian Airlines via Addis Ababa. Our plane departed at 1730. Tauck provided the transport to the airport. We were the only ones on that trip. The traffic was bad (always is? Worst I have seen in my life) in Nairobi, but wasn't nearly as bad as it was for some of the people on later flights. One reason was they were working to beautify the median strip plantings and the road to the airport- President Obama was planning a visit. It is best to double check with Tauck, however.
