2018 Wildebeest Migration

Well, the migration is over for this year in the Masai Mara. The much smaller & resident Loita population will move around in the northern parts of the Mara ecosystem as determined by the rainfall patterns, but the Serengeti in Tanzania will host the (mainly dispersed) main population until July-August next year. Bon Voyage Gnus!
