The rain in the four areas of the Mara has led to the distribution of the wildebeest and the zebra in them.
The group southeast of Keekorok is now heading west towards the Mara Bridge along Sand River.
Another herd in the Mara Triangle is starting to cross Paradise Crossing and Shamarta and in to the eastern side. A big section of the Mara Triangle has been burnt leaving only a small section with grass for the wildebeest. This has forced the wildebeest to look for greener pastures.
The wildebeest crossing to the eastern side are congregating on Topi hill.
There are wildebeest along the border of the Reserve and the Mara West Conservancy, northwest of Mara Intrepids Camp.
PREDATORS
Lions
The Olkiombo Pride is camping on the southern side of Talek River, east of Mara Intrepids, with the three males still with the Maji ya Fisi pride.
Some of the Ridge Pride lions – the three females, three cubs of different ages and two males are between Intiakitiak and Olare Orok rivers.
The Olkeju-Ronkai Pride is very much along Olkeju-Ronkai River.
Notch’s four sons are at Shamarta near the crossing with two lionesses from the Ridge Pride.
