Just back in from safari. The migration is very fragmented with herds still in the Western Corridor, sizeable herds being seen in Lobo, Togoro Plains and around Mbuzi Mawe. There are also reports of trailblazing herds stretching from Kleins and up into Bologonja. The afternoons have been rainy most days with spectacular thunderstorms at times. This unseasonable weather, for our dry season, explains why the migration is so broken up.

From Felix and Jacob, our guides at Serengeti Safari Camp:
There has been some rain over these last days, around Lobo and Mbuzi Mawe and everything is starting to green up. We've seen the migration crossing the Grumeti River, heading towards Lobo. There are plenty of herds around Togoro and Ikoma too.
Felix - I saw a crocodile 'in partnership' with a fish eagle, taking fish out of the water, which the fish eagle then ate. I also saw a cheetah with very young, about two month old, cubs.
Jacob - A first for me, seeing hippo mating in the Grumeti River, that and a poor old zebra getting taken down by a hippo whilst crossing the river.

I drove from Kogatende to Loliondo this morning. There is great game in the east and some herds of wildebeest, no doubt part of those that are being reported by the Mara operators.
Nothing in Koga itself at the moment but I'm told that the majority of the migrating herds are in Grumeti and heading north fast so expect them up near us soon.
