Reporting Date: 27.09.2012
John and his four guests were out on a full-day game drive and were hoping to get a glimpse of the wildebeest migration and a river crossing. On their way to Talek river they saw several herds of gnus scattered on the Mara plains. As they got closer to the river they saw a small herd gathering by the river bank and before long they all made it across. John's guests found it interesting to see how the gnus chose the easiest crossing point!
