Close call! Despite being caught by the tail, this lucky wildebeest managed to escape and successfully cross the Mara River. ​

Head guide, Mark Nicholson witnessed the migration spread out across the Sasakwa Plain during his morning game drives. 

Sasakwa is situated in the Grumeti Reserve, northern Tanzania and forms part of the Serengeti Mara ecosystem.

The majority of the migration has moved through the Grumeti concession heading northeast out of the Ikorongo Reserve. However, approximately 100,000 wildebeest were seen entering the concession just downstream of the Faru Faru Lodge along the Grumeti River.

About 50,000 wildebeest are spread out across the Grumeti concession from the Sasakwa Plains towards the Faru Faru area. However, large herds are moving towards the east of Ikorongo reserve along the Grumeti River.

It is safe to say that the great migration has arrived in the Singita Grumeti, with thousands pouring in each day.

A huge number of wildebeest was captured in the Grumeti Game Reserve, near the Sabora Lodge.

Hi HerdTracker

We have received word from our scouts on the ground that large herds have arrived at the Sasakwa and Sabora plains.

Hi HerdTracker,

The last couple of days have seen a strong movement of the wildebeest to the north and east. This undoubtedly means they are shipping out of the Ikorongo/Grumeti complex.

Thanks,
Ryan.

Hi HerdTracker,

For the last few days the Nyati Plains in the Grumeti Game Reserve have been covered with around 200,000 wildebeest. And they keep on coming.

Thanks,
Ryan.

Hi HerdTracker,

Attached are some photos from Ikorongo taken this morning by one of our guides Alfred Korir. By his estimation there are in the vicinity of 100,000 wildebeest colonising the southern Ikorongo. They are moving in a westerly direction.

Ryan,

Hi HerdTracker,

We got a report from our anti-poaching scouts this morning of a large herd of wildebeest entering into the Ikorongo Game Reserve on the south eastern boundary with the SNP. We have guys heading out that way to follow up and get some more information.

Will update you accordingly.

Thank you,
Ryan
