Reporting Date: 20.09.2012
Ranger Jaffery on a game drive with his guests witnessed a group of elephants crossing the sand river from the Maasai Mara into the Serengeti park. The ground was a little bit steep but they all managed to cross . Normally elephants would move between the two parks just like the wildebeests but their movement is not very conspicuous as they don’t move in larger groups like the wildebeest.
