No rain of any substance for some weeks now

HerdTracker update 04 Feb 2015 by Ndutu Safari Lodge

Hi Carel,

There has been no rain of any substance for some weeks now and the landscape has dried out considerably.

Random reports of small groupings of wildebeest across the plains, Hidden Valley, Marsh etc but as far as I know the bulk of the migration is out Makao / Maswa / Kusini way. There are large groupings of zebra all through the woodlands, and many new zebra babies. 

Lots of guests are travelling the distance each day out towards Makao and coming back with wonderful reports of great cheetah action. Close by the lodge here, the local lions are feasting on the zebra that come to the causeway for a drink.

Cheers,
Ainslie
