Hi HerdTracker
Our guides are reporting herds in the Maswa area but its very dry and dusty in Ndutu so we are hoping for rain to bring them in. Little signs of birthing though.
Regards,
Tabby - Assistant Camp Manager - Lemala Ndutu
Hi HerdTracker
Our guests are so excited as they didn’t expect to see migration in Seronera in these numbers but for the last few nights our camp has been surrounded by the migration and during the day you can see them all flooding into the valley.
Exciting times at the camp and rather noisy. Excuse the quality of the image taken from my phone.
Kind Regards,
Ebenezer
Camp Manager - Lemala Ewanjan
Hi HerdTracker
A large group arrived down into the Marsh areas and were visible from our camp. We dont see the babies yet but expect them soon. I am waiting for images to send you but we dont see big numbers here yet.

Hi HerdTracker
Update from the Camp Managers at Lemala Ewanjan Serengeti:
We have a lot of wildebeest in our area and they appear to be moving down south. What is amazing is that we dont see the birthing yet but guides yesterday did see one not far from our camp.
I am waiting on images.
Regards,
Felix
