 Migration 26.08.2008
The last couple of days have been rather hot and sunny in the Mara Game Reserve and only on Saturday it finally rained and cooled off a bit. Game sightings have been once again unrivalled with a number of our clients experiencing large crossings near the Mara Serena area, not far from Mara Bush Camp. They are not as frequent as during the previous 2 weeks but the wildebeest are still crossing in large numbers. Lions with cubs & cheetahs with cubs are to be seen regularly. Around Mara Bush Camp a resident leopard can be seen not far away & it so happened on Saturday afternoon that 03 leopards at once were spotted by our expert guides. One leopard was found resting in the tree and two leopards were down in the grass, stretching in front of our clients & posing for fantastic photographs. Other clients spotted a cheetah Mum with 4 cubs (only a few weeks old) and a cheetah Mum with two older cubs in the area. Another outstanding event was witnessed whereby three adult lions tried to bring down a giraffe which is indeed an ambitious undertaking. One client commented his stay & safari was so exciting because every single day brings new and unexpected adventures. 17.08.2008 This year’s Wildebeest Migration has exceeded everyone’s expectations by far. Large herds of Wildebeest are currently present in the Mara but most of all there are spectacular River crossing which are being witnessed by our clients and guides. So was the case last week, where by one particular River crossing continued for 10 hours non-stop! Something which our experienced Guides said it’s a rare occurrence. Such an eventful River crossing was last seen in the year 2001. All guests who are yet to travel can look forward to an unforgettable experience. 10.08.2008 Our Guides have just confirmed to us that large herds of Wildebeests have started moving into the Mara Game Reserve and have now gathered around Keekorok Lodge & Mara Conservancy area as well as Koyaki Lemek. At the beginning of the year, the animals had deserted the famous Masai Mara Game Reserve and this time round we are expecting a sensational line-up and crossings at Sand River / Talek & Mara River. The recent rainfalls in the Mara have contributed to the migration and crossings starting slightly earlier this year. The Ol Kiombo Area where Mara Bush Camp is located is slowly receiving the first herds of animals. There was a spectacular mother leopard and its cub that has been spotted by one of our photographers, Mr. Romain Grisius. Further, cheetah cubs with their mother were discovered not far from the camp too. 20.07.2008 The light showers that swept across the central Mara over the last week have drawn more herds from the northern Seremgeti. The Mara River, about 3 kilometers north of the south-Mara bridge, has been the main arena over the past few days. Heavy crossings have taken place as thousends of the Serengeti herds crossed west on the Mara Triangle. |
