MIGRATION UPDATE
Migration is now close to the camp. Today we had thousands of wildebeests followed behind by handful of Zebra’s. We could see them at Kichwa Tembo route ( Elephant head) heading towards the sandriver close to the Masai mara/Serengeti border .The big herd was around Nyamalumbwa and Kunga circuits. Another big herd was also seen along Bologonja River (Makutano Circuit) heading towards the Mara river ready for the crossing which is bound to take any place any time from now.This was mixed up with Elands,Topi’s and Thompson Gazelles and has attracted lots of carnivores like Lions, Cheetahs, Leopards with scavengers such as Hyenas and Jackals following the cats behind. Vultures are not left behind either. We shall continue seeing the migration daily until end of October early November. Initially Guests were looking forward to the migration but now that the migration is here the interest has shifted to the crossing at the Mara river.
