Migration Update - 14th July 2009

As with each year, the Parks have started their early burning program to reduce the bulk of the grass before it gets dry and hopefully prevent a later very hot bush fire from doing too much damage.

So far the areas that have burnt in the Western corridor and elsewhere are small and have not affected the game viewing. There are still areas of green grass and water in the Grumeti river. Large herds of wildebeest remain in the corridor area with other significant herds in Ikorongo and central Serengeti. Depending on future burns and the rate of drying out, we would expect the wildebeest to be around these areas for another week or so but will then probably move further north.

Migration Update - 2nd July 2009

The rains have eased off for a while and the temperatures are high in the western corridor. There is still a fair bit of green grass around and much of it is quite long. The herds will trample it down as they go through. This does mean there will be grass and reliable water for the Wildebeest and Zebras for a bit. A large part of the migration is still in the western corridor Musabi areas all the way to Grumeti. Large groups of wildebeest are also up in Lobo area. We would expect the herds to remain spread out as above until it dries out further.
