Reporting Date: 24.8.2012
Talek river is a bee hive of activity as the migration is at the heart of the mara where the river is located. Wildbeest big herds are roaming around posee and burugat plains. On a full day game drive Daniel, Alex, Ferdinard and their guest had good moments along Talek river watching the river crossing. The herds at some stage got confused in between and were going hence forth while others continued to get into the river bank.
