Large numbers near the Sand River

HerdTracker update 26 Aug 2014 by Governors’ Camp

Hi Carel, As of yesterday I understand from the warden and guides in the Trans Mara conservancy that the Bulk of the Wildebeest are almost 6 kms into the Tanzanian border and still moving. There are also large numbers near the sand river on the Tanzanian side. Yesterday evening within the Musiara, Bila Shaka and Marsh areas we have large concentrations of the resident wildebeest and and not as many Zebra these have come down from the North East Masai conservation areas, there are still many more in these conservation areas and if rains continue they may well move through into the Musiara area and a strong possibility they will cross again at Paradise or at the Kitchwa Tembo crossing points.
