The wildebeest have made a really dramatic come back. We are now experiencing a ‘second migration’. Herds in the plains south of Maasai Mara have swelled enormously, the herds have been split into two groups, one heading north into the Mara Triangle, and the other southwards to the northern Serengeti before crossing the Sand River Gate, back into the Maasai Mara. There is a lot of predation activities, the lions have started to adopt lean period hunting tactics, with the return of the herds so has the season of plenty. The lion ridge pride has been sited, two males with a group of females. Leopard sightings have also increased over the past week, with a young waterbuck kill right in front of Mara Explorer in full view of all the guests! Cheetah sightings have also been good as well.
