Serengeti Migration Update

The migration is en masse in the northern Serengeti areas of Nyamalumbwa to Kogatende. Our new lodge - Lamai Serengeti - is almost totally surrounded, as of this morning (the nights are noisy, with lots of predators moving in fast)! The weather is cool in the mornings and there has been some light rain.

From our Guides:

Emmanuel - spent the morning surrounded by about 500,000 wildebeest. What a sight! Yesterday I saw a rhino surrounded by 7 lion. The lion were stalking the rhion, but on noticing them suddenly he charged at them and chased them all away. An amazing scene to watch.

Ken - Seeing great Mara River crossings!

The latest on the migration

Our guide Ken  has just called in from the Serengeti to report big herds of wildebeest now being seen across the northern Serengeti. Particularly strong around Lobo / Bologonja and Nyamalumbwa, with increasing numbers coming into the Wogakuria & Lamai areas. 

Good groups still being seen in the Western Corridor, but the weather over the next few days will dictate whether they remain within easy reach of Grumeti or also start heading North. We’re keeping a very close daily eye on things and as always will react as fast and flexibly as required, to ensure that everyone gets within reach of some of these concentrations.
