MIGRATION OF WILDEBEEST AND ZEBRAS
The wildebeest and zebras are looking for new shoot of fresh grass before heading back south to Serengeti. They are near Talek River, at Burungat and Posse Plains all the way to Sand River straddling Serengeti and the Mara - a distant of 23 kilometers. They look like ants covering the plains.
The wildebeest and zebras are still crossing the Mara River. Our guests at Mara Intrepids Camp and Mara Explorer have been reporting superb crossings.
PREDATORS
LIONS
Along Olkeju Ronkai River, there are two juvenile male lions from the Ridge pride, aged three years. They wait here to pounce on the wildebeest and zebras coming to the river for a drink.
The Ridge pride with their cubs was this morning by a herd of buffalos. The buffalos had been terrorizing the pride, killing their young cubs. So far the pride has lost two cubs to the herd.
LEOPARDS
The Ridge male leopard was at Double-Crossing looking well-fed.
Shujaa has had very successful kills at paradise crossing Mara river west of Mara intrepid camp.
CHEETAHS
Malaika with her six cubs is south of Mara Intrepids Camp.
Imani came down from the rhino ridge to look for prey lucky enough she got a young impala at maternity.
