Wildebeest have arrived

The Mara River has been active this past week, with many wildebeest and zebra crossing the river near Look Out Hill onto the Mara Triangle. The water in the river is still low which makes crossings for the wildebeest an easy walk across – which has not deterred the crocodiles from snapping up a meal at any given opportunity. The herds along the lower side of the Mara River has settled down a bit while the Loita herds have joined the Serengeti ones south of the Mara Triangle where the grass is sufficient to sustain them through the migration season.
