Wildebeest in Masai Mara, Kenya

The herds in thousands continue to pour into Masai Mara Game Reserve and there is plenty of game and spectacular sightings. Guests who were at Kichwa Tembo Camp were able to witness some of the amazing river crossing at the rocky crossing point. Wildebeests, zebras and thomson gazelles have moved from the Greater Mara into the Mara Triangle. Other herds can easily be seen at the base of the Oloololo Escarpment.

Even though the migration is on the Kenya side, the Great Serengeti received some rain last week, which has enticed some of the smaller herds back into Tanzania. The rain has removed some of the dust and new grass has started growing. These herds normally like the new grass and if these showers continue then a large number of Wildebeest will move back into the Serengeti before their normal time.
