Two days ago a group of Mara Plains guests packed lunch and drove south to Sand Rivers on the Serengeti/Mara border to see if they could catch a glimpse of the Great Migration. They were greeted with….half a million wildebeest and zebra heading our way!

Such exciting news and we (the team at Mara Plains plus all of the predators in the Olare Orok Conservancy) are eagerly awaiting the arrival of the gnus, who should be swarming around camp within a fortnight.
