The migration is spread across a wide area of the short grass plains, with everything looking green and lush after recent rains. However, the eastern plains around Salei are drying fast now and longs columns of wildebeest are forming and setting off to the south-west. The first new calves of the season are being seen, so happy days for the predators.

Rains are continuing in the southern Serengeti and the area is very green and lush. Our guides are reporting seeing hundreds of wildebeest all over Ndutu "as far as the eye can see", also around Malanja towards Oldupai, and all the way to the Golini Plain up to Lake Masek. Our Serengeti Safari Camp has enjoyed being right in the midst of all the action.
They've been seeing plenty of predators too, esepecially lions; a pride of 16 lions resting, whilst two of their pride successfully brought down a buffalo. One of our guides also saw 15 rhino in the Ngorongoro Crater the other day.
