Lots of rain around, Gol, Seronera, Naabi, Hidden Valley, Moru and
Ndutu.
There are lots of gazelle now around Naabi and south towards Ndutu.
Many zebra and large herds of wildebeest have advanced past Seronera
onto the short grass that was burnt earlier in the year around Simba
Kopjes and is now sprouting green.
No wildebeest currently at Ndutu area but with the ongoing rain forecast
I would not be surprised if some herds keep advancing south.
Small herds of 50 to 100 wildebeest have started appearing within view
of the lodge and along our access and game drive roads the past few
days, as the grass turns green again. I know that they have had good
rains in Seronera too the past few weeks, with large herds in the
thousands being seen to the delight of many of our guests. Seems like
the rain is drawing the wildebeest south.
On the drive to Seronera today I drove through many scattered herds of
100+ wildebeest enjoying the fresh grass all over. Frankfurt Zoological
Society staff and TAWIRI researchers reported that the area around
Barafu is thick with wildebeest, with huge numbers enjoying the fresh
grass there too... so they should be in the NCA soon.
