Plains are drying out, herds on the move

HerdTracker update 29 Jan 2015 by Ndutu Safari Lodge

Good Morning Carel,

There has been no rain here for nearly three weeks now so most of the migration has moved off towards Maswa, Makao direction. Reports indicate that there are a lot of wildies still out on the Makao plains, with a lot of cheetah sightings and action out there, and also long lines heading into Maswa.

Here at Ndutu we still have pockets of wildebeest with their calves, in the woodlands but nothing of any significance.

All the best,
Ainslie
