Word on the Migration..from Rowland

who has just stopped by after being out on safari at Serengeti Safari Camp with his guests.

"We were up by the Mara River, watching the crossings, Kogatende area...but I'm not telling you exactly where as it's a secret, as I can still take my guests there and not see any other cars!!!!"

Your secret is totally safe with me, I assured him.

"We saw about 300 wildebeest crossing, and I'm not exaggerating but at least 100 perished. Honestly. There were in such a panic to cross, there were lines of them trampling over other ones. It was very dramatic but not so easy to watch. We also saw a Tawny Eagle diving down, right next to where we were driving, and it grabbed a grass snake and took it back up to the tree; my guests were amazed it happened so close to the car".


And with that, he grabbed his next safari file and headed off out again with a smile.

Serengeti Migration Update

Chediel reports seeing loads of big wildebeest herds around the Nyamalumbwa area as well as frequent rhino sightings.

But his most exciting report:

"On arrival in Lobo on the way to Serengeti Safari Camp, we saw a Martial eagle flying really low. I stopped the car to watch, one of my guests was a keen birder, and then to our total suprise it went after and killed a young Thomson's Gazelle. I have never seen this before! It struggled to drag the kill away, but it wouldn't let go".
