Reporting Date: 05.09.2012
Peter, Japheth and their guests were on a full-day game-drive with an aim of getting down to mara river. When they got to mara river they saw two fairly large herds of gnus grazing about 100 metres from the river bank. After patiently waiting for a long time the gnus headed for the river bank but kept going back and forth before deciding whether it was worth-it to cross the river. After alot of back and forth they finally made up their mind and took the plunge into the river and crossed to the other side.
Crossings can happen at anytime of the day depending on the size of the group and their determination to cross.
