Sand River crossings at Sala’s Camp

19 Jun 2015 by The Safari Collection

Hi Carel,

I was able to go out last night and drive through the herds. They currently stretch from right outside Sala’s Camp to the East along the southern side of the Sand River for about 7km.

Only a few small groups have crossed the Sand River and the vast majority are still straddling the Kenya-Tanzania border. The Sand River is pumping so we’re hoping for some impressive crossings when they decide to head north.

Cheers,
Mark
