While large areas of Tanzania has been receiving heavy downpours over the last two weeks, the Serengeti has yet to receive much of this. The Eastern side of the Park is quite dry now, though there is still plenty of grass around the whole northern sector.
The Migration herds are even more spread out than before, with substantial groups still north of the Mara River but sizeable numbers around Bolagonja, Tabora and Grumeti.
If the rains hold off, the wildies will not move to central Serengeti too early this year. But if decent showers come, after the substantial burning, we could see the main herds heading south this month.
The resident game in all of these areas is still excellent and, despite the dry conditions, there is still plenty of grazing around.
