Herds at Singita Grumeti, will the burning of the north impact the movement this year?

Hi Carel,

Just some images I promised – I have been doing the rounds today! Have flown Arusha, Grumeti, Kogatende, Sasakwa and Seronera. Very little sign of wildebeest and zebra.

Small herds around Grumeti, Sasakwa and north of Seronera. Most seem to be heading north. It is all dry, dry, dry. A few grass fires around as well. Will send some photos shortly.

We're now driving south west to our Dulana camp, Kusini.

It’s all happening at Kusini towards the west and Alamana to the east

Hi Carel

Just to let you know there is a lot of birthing going on around our camp at The Alamana, the little ones are getting mobile. These photos just in.

The bulk of the herds are towards Kusini and Maswa though. Hope you also got the photos from Gary, taken at our Kusini camp?

Regards,
Sean

Some big numbers at Kusini and some more rain

Hi Carel,

Yesterday we had a super-herd file into the area in front of the Dulana Serengeti Camp staying for the whole day, evening and moving out east during the night time rain.

This morning we are left with a few thousand enjoying the refreshed grass in front of camp, whilst the main grouping is massed a kilometre away mostly on the Serengeti side of the boundary between the Ndutu woodlands and Kusini.

Its worth noting that a large calving group has been in residence at The Alamana in the Loliondo Game Conservancy Area for the past two weeks and have been consistently dropping calves as large build ups of rain have been consistent. Cumulus, blue skies and great game viewing!
